McHenry was appointed to her role at the State Department last month. A Department official declined to comment on McHenry\u2019s exit, saying it was an internal personnel matter.<\/p>\n

ABC News was not immediately able to contact McHenry.<\/p>\n

McHenry formerly worked as a reporter for ESPN. In 2015, she was suspended by the network for one week after a video showing her berating a clerk at a towing company went viral.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her departure from the State Department was first reported by Page Six.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
