This afternoon people on Twitter suddenly noticed that President Trump’s biography said his term ended TODAY, January 11, 20201 at 7:39PM (which obviously hasn’t happened yet):
Some were questioning if this was a hack or an error. According to Buzzfeed News, it was a disgruntled staffer who did it:
UPDATE: Sources tell @BuzzFeedNews a “disgruntled staffer” is behind the State Department site’s change of Trump and Pence’s biographies. More TK. https://t.co/5Gbb3cEhRK

The State Department has since taken it down completely. Apparently Pence’s biography had also been changed and I would assume it’s been taken down as well.
Ryan Girdusky, who has had good sources in the past, says he’s heard it was just an error:

UPDATE: OAN’s Jack Posobiec suggests Buzzfeed is right, that it is a disgruntled staffer:
Confirmed: An anti-Trump State Department employee illegally posted that his term was ending today
