The head of the U.S. government's top contracting agency has resigned amid accusations of misuse of authority, including allegations that she tried to enlist agency officials to help Republican political hopefuls. "It has been a great privilege to serve our nation and a great president," Lurita Doan said in a statement released Wednesday by the General Services Administration, which buys and manages billions of dollars worth of federal government property.
