Chad Wolf will resign from his position as acting secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, leaving the Trump administration nine days ahead of President Trump's departure from office, a senior DHS official told the Washington Examiner Monday.
Wolf, 44, was the fifth person to lead the DHS under the Trump administration and was in his position 14 months.
Trump formally nominated Wolf to head the 250,000-person department in August, but the Senate never voted to confirm him. Wolf became acting secretary in November 2019, following the departure of acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan. The nomination was pulled shortly after Wolf criticized Trump's response to the riot at the Capitol, although the White House said the timing was coincidental.
He first came to the DHS in the early 2000s and worked at the department as it planned the establishment of the Transportation Security Administration agency following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He moved to TSA and later to a public policy lobbying firm in Washington before rejoining TSA as chief of staff in 2017. Wolf shifted to DHS headquarters under Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who had worked with Wolf at TSA. Nielsen was DHS secretary prior to McAleenan and was chief of staff to Trump's first DHS secretary, John Kelly.

The 25th Amendment is a dead letter, even if Pence invoked it all the anti-Trumpers have left the cabinet.

Is this really all that unusual at the end of one presidency?
“Trump formally nominated Wolf to head the 250,000-person department...”
A quarter million employees in one department?
Wolf recently blathered on about the threat from “White Supremacists,” so good riddance to bad rubbish.
beat me to it 😂

Didn't you leave out the H at the end?
He sucks and must figure Xiden would think so too.
I keep trying to find why they think Trump is stirring up trouble..
let’s see...all summer their 2 fav groups destroyed cities, people’s businesses... burned ... mean dudes!!
maxine stood in the midst of a crowd and told them to go after conservatives... she repeatedly calls Trump names that should be forbidden .
schiff stood and lied to the public.. made up a story and read it over the air waves...
biden lies every time he opens his mouth..
and they are trying to get socialism in this country... how can congress go along with that!!!
but Trump... they want him out before he can get them for what they have done. they are horribly sick with what is in this country...the children that have been used.
Known as clearing the decks!
This is a new must see and a WOW & AWESOME video by DJT.
TRUMPS NEW SOCIAL MEDIA RELEASE
It will be very interesting to see how fast Democrats get rid of the requirement for 60 votes. One day , one week , one hour?
Monkey see, monkey do!
“they want him out before he can get them for what they have done.”
What he has, I expect he’s had for a long time. He can “get them” tomorrow if he wants to. Maybe he’s playing with them like a cat with a mouse.
And half of them are TSA....
Yep!
“A quarter million employees in one department?”
Airline screeners.... remember when those use to be the cheapest security guards you could find. Now some clear 400k/year.
I don’t know....one thing that I heard they are charging T and they evidently were waiting on the number? a guess...
One more thing.. Pompeo has stayed with the President..that is a good sign. He’s been in these countries that are in question... he knows what the score is.
That was spectacular! Thanks Red.
