Ex-Acting DHS Secretary Signals Openness to Serving Under Trump Again

Chad Wolf expresses willingness to rejoin the Trump administration if asked

This week, former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf indicated he would consider rejoining the Trump administration, stating he would “be happy to serve if needed.” Speaking with host Blake Burman on NewsNation’s The Hill, Wolf called it an honor to serve both the president and the country if the opportunity arose.

When asked if President-elect Trump had reached out with an offer, Wolf confirmed, “No, absolutely not. There’s been no discussions about that.” The Hill/Decision Desk HQ declared Trump the victor of the White House race on Wednesday, leading to speculation about potential key appointments in his forthcoming administration.

Increased scrutiny on the Secret Service follows two recent attempts on Trump’s life

So far, only Susie Wiles has been announced as Trump’s incoming chief of staff, making her the first woman to hold that position. Burman also questioned Wolf about recent scrutiny of the U.S. Secret Service, following two assassination attempts on Trump earlier this year.

Wolf suggested that the agency might benefit from “someone from the outside” with a law enforcement background to address recent security issues. However, he clarified that he doesn’t represent the Trump campaign and hasn’t spoken to Trump directly about the matter.

Reflecting on the Secret Service’s challenges, Wolf said he supports bringing in a fresh perspective to assess the agency’s operations. The scrutiny intensified after two attacks—one during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania and another at Trump’s Florida golf course—prompted Congress to pass legislation enhancing candidate protection.

The incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and a rally attendee lost their life, led then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign. Her departure followed a tense congressional hearing in which she avoided certain inquiries about the incident. Ronald Rowe, Cheatle’s former deputy, has since taken over leadership of the agency.
