WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told his staff on Monday he was stepping down, becoming the latest senior Trump administration official to resign following last week’s deadly mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, a senior administration official told Reuters.
President Donald Trump withdrew Wolf’s nomination to be permanent homeland security secretary last week and Wolf said he would step down immediately.
