Energy Secretary Rick Perry is expected to resign in November.
The announcement will be made next month and is unrelated to ongoing issues in the Trump administration with Ukraine, according to Politico. It is unclear the exact reasons or circumstances surrounding his decision to step down.
Perry, unlike many others on President Trump’s cabinet, has been with the administration from the beginning, having been confirmed to the post in a 62-37 Senate vote in March 2017.
Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette is anticipated to take over from the 69-year-old former Texas governor.
