White House Staffers Say Biden’s Drug Czar Is a ‘Prima Donna’ Who Has Created a ‘Toxic’ Work Environment: Report

The director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has been described by subordinates as a “prima donna” who created dysfunction within the small group of public servants tasked with addressing the US addiction and overdose epidemic, according to a report.

Several current and former ONDCP officials told Politico Friday that they blame the office’s director, Dr. Rahul Gupta, for fostering a “toxic” work environment that has led to high staff turnover and important deadlines being missed because of the director’s focus on his “political aspirations” rather than the actual job he was hired to do.

“When everybody leaves, it can’t be ‘everybody is the problem,’” one former ONDCP official told the outlet, which notes that at least eight top officials and several other staffers have resigned in recent months largely because of Gupta.

“On some level, you might be the problem,” the former official added, referring to Gupta.

Gupta has pressured staffers to raise his public profile throughout his tenure, according to the report, and fumes when his travel arrangements are not to his liking.
