Deputy Chief of Staff to leave White House
WASHINGTON (CNN) - White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin will be leaving his job this month, according to White House spokesperson Dana Perino.
Perino says Hagin's last day will be July 20th.
"The President said that he thanks Joe for his service to the White House, that Joe's been a loyal friend, and that he is excited about the next chapter in Joe's life," said Perino.
Hagin sent an email to friends this morning, announcing he is leaving to take a private sector job.
Hagin, an Ohio native, has been with President Bush since the 2000 campaign.
Combined with experience during the first Bush presidency, Hagin has served 14 years in the White House.
Hagin was a behind-the-scenes player, who had a huge role in the post 9/11 reorganization of the U-S government and how terrorist responses would be reformed.

If only he and Bush and gang had resigned years ago.
another one bites the dust....
Another pawn falls.
Look at them. Scurrying into their dark corners trying to hide from the light. It is only a matter of time boys…. the light is coming.
i GUESS THAT, IF YOU STAY IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION LONG ENOUGH, NOT ONLY DO YOU BEGIN EMULATING KARL ROVE, YOU ACTUALLY BEGIN LOOKING LIKE HIM. REASON ENOUGH TO MAKE AN EXODUS
A book deal next!
I wonder how soon his book will be published?
"Why does CNN not have a single story or banner about the singing of the "wrong" national anthem at the DNC meeting in Denver this week ? "
Perhaps it's because this happened preceding the state of the city address, and not a DNC meeting.
Another one bites the dust...
i guess its time for everyone to run out of white house to cover their crimes.
Look at the photo of Rove and Hagin..they look like twins.
Makes you wonder about their duties?
Another one bites the dust....
Amen.
Eventually people are starting to realize that it is not so good to work for an idiot.

I wonder what took him so long. I cannot wait to read his book.
It's always funny to read all the comments from CNN's liberal fans. It's nice to know that 99% of all CNN fans are democrats. Hello any conservatives or republicans (echo sound). And CNN wonders why people say they have a liberal bias? Gimme a break.
Resign or be indicted. That seems to be the choice with this current administration.
I guess after a while even the "Wickits" amoung them must leave. SO what why not give us some real NEWS?
JonRoss: that "other national anthem" was sung at the annual "State of The City" address in Denver, nothing to do with the DNC.
Excuse me, why would anyone vote for McCain after what the republican congress and president did?
I guess they should all get out before the War Crimes Committee begins.
Why would he resign if he were taking another job. Besides, I'm sure anybody would hire this guy or anyone from this admin, cause they have done such a wonderful job. Is that too negative
One down ... too many more to go.
It seems like they are texting/emailing each other the plan to leak Plame's identity.
Let's see where he pops up in the private sector. So long, Joe!
