Washington: Several White House officials have handed in their resignations after a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced their resignations, becoming the first two members of President Trump’s Cabinet to leave since the attack.
Trump’s former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and top European and Russian official on the National Security Council Ryan Tully were also among those who resigned on Thursday. Others, including First lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff Stephanie Grisham, quit on Wednesday.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said the violent attack on the Capitol “has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside.” Chao, who is married to Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, says her resignation is effective Monday.
According to Media reports, “Stephanie Grisham, the chief of staff to first lady Melania Trump and former White House press secretary, was the first announced her resignation. Deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews resigned a short time later, as did White House social secretary Rickie Niceta, a White House official confirmed.”
