WASHINGTON – Energy Secretary Rick Perry will step down from the Trump Administration, according to reports.
The former Texas governor informed President Trump in writing of his planned resignation aboard Air Force One Thursday as the two headed to Texas for events, Bloomberg News reported.
Perry has become entangled in the House’s impeachment inquiry.
Trump directed Perry to work with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine corruption matters.
Perry, 69, ran for president unsuccessfully in 2012 and 2016. Trump tapped Perry for the cabinet post at the start of his presidency and the Senate confirmed the former “Dancing with Stars” guest on March 2, 2017.
It’s unclear the date Perry will leave, the New York Times reported.
