Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has resigned, county clerk George Christenson confirmed to TPM Thursday. Clarke is an ally of President Donald Trump and was briefly considered for a job at the Department of Homeland Security.

WTMJ-TV’s Steve Chamraz first broke the story Thursday.

Clarke, known for his harsh jailing practices and strong condemnation of activist groups like Black Lives Matter, briefly claimed he was being considered for a job in the Department of Homeland Security. He was a vocal supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, even speaking at the Republican National Convention.

“I will be leaving the position of sheriff to accept an appointment as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security,” he told WISN’s Vicki McKenna on May 17. “I’m both honored and humbled to be appointed to this position by Secretary Kelly, working for the Trump administration.” However, DHS itself never acknowledged such an offer, and over the course of several weeks, Clarke began doubting his place within the administration.

His book is just out, and there is some question about it, even though Trump has endorsed the book. If, and if is a big word, its is going to be proven that he stole material from the book from someone else, (like he did in the past)..he is getting out before it hits the fan.
..That book may be full of so many lies, and stolen material, that when it is analyzed, he will look like a total fool. perhaps, he getting out before the lies are exposed,'
