Trump pulls nomination of Chad Wolf as DHS secretary after rebuke | Print this article
The White House announced that President Trump pulled the nomination of Chad Wolf as secretary for the Department of Homeland Security an hour after the acting Cabinet official called on Trump to condemn Wednesday s riot.
The White House announced the withdrawal in a statement issued late Thursday morning. Wolf, who has been traveling overseas in Cyprus all week, initially criticized the thousands of Trump supporters who besieged the U.S. Capitol Wednesday afternoon.
The White House said its decision to pull Wolf s nomination was not related to his criticism of Trump and that it was a coincidence that it was announced shortly afterward.
"The official position of the lawyers representing the people of the United States is that there will be a new president on January 20," said one government watchdog.
