“President Trump said that Homeland Security official Chad Wolf is now acting DHS secretary — and an agency spokesperson promptly replied that he is not,” Politico reports.
“Trump told reporters before leaving for a campaign rally in Mississippi that Wolf had replaced acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan, whose last day in the job was supposed to be Thursday. McAleenan had planned to extend his stay until Nov. 7, but Trump said Wolf was acting secretary already.”
“But DHS disputed that in a written statement several minutes later, saying that McAleenan is still in charge.”
