Two senior officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), both of whom led the investigation into the 2019 'Sharpiegate' scandal, have been placed on administrative leave.

The move is seen by some as a potential retaliation or an attempt to influence NOAA's leadership ahead of the Senate vote.
