Mick Mulvaney, former White House chief of staff and current ambassador to Northern Ireland, is resigning from his post in the wake of Wednesday's violent chaos on Capitol Hill.
“I called [Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo last night to let him know I was resigning from that," Mulvaney told CNBC on Thursday. "I can’t do it. I can’t stay...It's a position I really enjoy doing, but you can't to do it. And I wouldn't be surprised to see more of my friends resign over the course of the next 24 to 48 hours. It would be completely understandable if they did."
