“Late Friday, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. formally notified Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly that he had rescinded his acceptance of the agency’s offer to join DHS as an assistant secretary,” Craig Peterson, an adviser to Clarke, told the Washington Post. “Sheriff Clarke is 100 percent committed to the success of President Trump and believes his skills could be better utilized to promote the president’s agenda in a more aggressive role.”

Clarke has been one of the most vocal black voices in supporting the white nationalist-in-chief. According to the post, Clarke was gifted his role at DHS and was set to start in June, but Clarke “was accused of plagiarism, and has drawn scrutiny for conditions in his jails that left one mentally ill inmate dead,” the Post reports.

Clarke reportedly met with his overlord in Wisconsin to discuss other roles that he could be gifted inside the Trump administration.

“The sheriff is reviewing options inside and outside of government,” Peterson told the Post. “Sheriff Clarke told Secretary Kelly he is very appreciative of the tremendous opportunity the secretary was offering, and expressed his support for the secretary and the agency.”
