McAleenan could stay longer at Homeland Security

Read full article: McAleenan could stay longer at Homeland Security

But with acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan's Thursday departure date rapidly approaching, officials said McAleenan could stay up to a week longer to ensure a smooth transition. The official said the White House has determined Trump has that legal authority under a mechanism first reported by The New York Times. McAleenan, who's served as acting secretary since April, submitted his resignation to the White House earlier this month. In April, the White House's growing frustration with leadership led to the ouster that placed McAleenan at the helm. The White House also considered Chad Wolf to replace the outgoing acting Homeland Security secretary, according to two sources familiar with the process.
