Chad Wolf is resigning as the acting secretary of Homeland Security, he announced in a letter to the department Monday obtained by CNN.
Wolf s resignation comes amid heightened security concerns in the wake of the US Capitol attack and just days before the transition in administrations. I am saddened to take this step, as it was my intention to serve the Department until the end of this Administration, Wolf said.
Pete Gaynor, the administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be the acting secretary, Wolf said.
Dubai: With just days to go before the term of US President Donald Trump expires, Democrats in the US House of Representatives are rushing to impeach Trump. The move follows last week’s siege of the Capitol after Trump urged supporters to march there over claims that the November 3 election was ‘rigged’ against him.
Trump has already said that he will hand over power to Joe Biden on January 20, when the new president will be sworn in. Then why are Congressmen bent on impeaching the president? Will the trial go through even if he is out of office? And, do the Democrats really have the numbers to see the impeachment through?

With nine days left in office, House Democrats formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump. He was charged with inciting violence against the government of the United States.
Last week hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress was holding a joint session to certify the 2020 Presidential election. Five people, including a Capitol Police Officer, died as a result of the riot. Since then many lawmakers including Senators Pat Toomey and Lisa Murkowski have been calling for Trump to be removed from office immediately.
