Pres. Trump says Energy Sec. Rick Perry will leave “at the end of the year.” “We have his successor. We’ll announce it pretty soon.”
Energy Secretary Rick Perry, described by colleagues as one of the"three amigos" on U.S. policy on Ukraine, will step down at the end of the year, President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday.
Serving as Secretary of @ENERGY under @realDonaldTrump has been the honor of a lifetime. Today the U.S. leads the world in energy production, we launched AI & Cyber Security Offices, & made environmental progress unseen for decades cleaning up the legacy of the Manhattan Project. pic.twitter.com/ZWZer3yMHy
In recent weeks, Perry has repeatedly knocked down suggestions that he planned to resign, including telling the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Wednesday that he planned to still be in the job on Thanksgiving. Giuliani said Ukraine had Democrat Hillary Clinton's email server and fabricated evidence that implicated former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
"I don't know whether that was crap or what," Perry told the Journal of Giuliani's call."But I'm just saying there were three things that he said. That's the reason the president doesn't trust these guys." Perry's influential role in the region has led him to be described by U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland and others as one of the"three amigos" tasked with overseeing the U.S.-Ukraine relationship.
