His decision to step down comes not long after Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos also left their posts.    Wolf's resignation was "warranted by recent events, including the ongoing and meritless court rulings regarding the validity of my authority as Acting Secretary," according to a letter he wrote to staffers. "These events and concerns increasingly serve to divert attention and resources away from the important work of the Department in this critical time of a transition of power." Last week, President Donald Trump withdrew his nomination for Wolf to serve at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security following Wolf's comments about the protest. But White House officials said Trump's decision to remove his stamp of approval was unrelated to what Wolf had said.
