Acting Homeland Security Secretary Resigns Amid Warnings over Domestic Terror Threats
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Monday, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf resigned,
becoming the third Cabinet secretary to quit since Trump's mob attacked
Congress last week. In his resignation letter, Wolf did not refer
directly to the Capitol Hill assault; instead, he said he was quitting
because of legal challenges to his authority to run DHS without Senate
confirmation.
