Democratic National Committee communications director Luis Miranda has resigned, along with CEO Amy Dacey and CFO Brand Marshall, amid the email hack that earlier toppled the party chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Party operative Donna Brazile has taken the reins as interim chair to guide Democrats through the release of 19,000 email messages by WikiLeaks ahead of the party convention last week.
Law enforcement and cybersecurity experts believe the hackers have ties to the Russian government.
Miranda (pictured) was director of Hispanic media for the Obama White House after an earlier stint at the DNC. He was also a spokesman for John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid.
Dacey, former executive director of EMILY's List, has taken a post at Washington-bsaed Squared Communications.
The Washington Post noted Dacey and Miranda were recipients of one of the most damaging email exchanges, in which "Marshall appeared to speculate about how [Bernie] Sanders’s Jewish heritage could be used against him."
Mark Paustenbach was deputy CEO of communications for the convention and remains national press secretary for the party.
