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.
