Another Trump nominee withdraws from consideration

[extragreen]

President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration is withdrawing just two days after his selection was announced, citing the "gravity" of the job.
Trump selected Chad Chronister, the sheriff in Hillsborough County, Florida, to lead the DEA on Sunday. At the time, Chronister called it the "honor of a lifetime" and said he was “deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve our nation.”
But on Tuesday, Chronister posted on X that he'd reconsidered.
"Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration," Chronister wrote.

In 2020, Trump pardoned Chronister's father-in-law, Edward DeBartolo Jr., for his involvement in a gambling fraud case in Louisiana in the late 1990s.
