Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for the next head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, has decided to withdraw his name from consideration. Chronister, who currently serves as sheriff in Hillsborough County, Florida, announced his decision in a post on social media, stating that he had realized the gravity of the important responsibility and has decided to continue serving the people of his county and fulfilling his current commitments. Trump had announced his intention to nominate Chronister on Saturday, but no official statement has been made by the transition team in response to his withdrawal. Chronister expressed gratitude for the honor of being nominated but ultimately decided to decline the offer.
