Acting DHS Secretary Chad F. Wolf Responds to CNN Contributor Miles Taylor News

Today’s announcement by Mr. Taylor demonstrates that he was clearly pursuing a self-serving, self-promoting agenda while at the Department of Homeland Security rather than pursuing an agenda aimed at securing the Homeland.
