Such was his eccentric style that soon after starting the job he also ordered
that the heights of all embassy tables be adjusted and demanded that all
clocks be recalibrated, according to reports.
The disclosures threaten to embarrass Mr Obama, who previously made Mr Gration
his special envoy to Sudan after the veteran diplomat became an early
champion of his presidential ambitions.
In his resignation statement last week, Mr Gration said: “I am very proud
of my 35-year career of dedicated and honourable service to our great
nation, leading at all times with integrity first and the highest ethical
standards”.
Mr Gration did not respond to an email requesting comment on the new
allegations. A State Department spokesman did not return a request for
comment.
