Obama's energy, climate adviser leaving post
WASHINGTON
Browner's resignation is expected to happen in the coming weeks.
The officials said she will stay on as needed to ensure a smooth
transition. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because
the personnel move had not been announced.
Browner has been a central figure in the White House's strategy
of trying to get a comprehensive energy bill passed, a matter that
has stalled on Capitol Hill. She was also a prominent voice in the
administration's response to the massive oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico last year.
Her resignation comes amid a series of high-profile staff
changes in Obama's White House.
