Homeland Security chief considered resigning after Trump diatribe: report
By Brett Samuels - 05/10/18 05:40 PM EDT
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was reportedly close to resigning after President Trump berated her during a Cabinet meeting.
The New York Times reported that Trump lashed out at Nielsen at the meeting Wednesday, accusing her of failing to improve border security.
Nielsen has drafted a resignation letter but has not submitted it, the Times reported.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson denied the report.
"The @nytimes article alleging that the Secretary drafted a resignation letter yesterday and was close to resigning is false," tweeted Tyler Houlton. "The Secretary is hard at work today on the President's security-focused agenda and supporting the men and women of @DHSgov."
