Reuters news agency quoted a senior US official as saying that Wolf would step down.
The official added that Wolf told his staff on Monday that he would step down, becoming the latest senior Trump administration official to quit after supporters of the US president stormed the Capitol building last week.
It is reported that Trump withdrew Wolf’s nomination for the position of Homeland Security permanently last week, and Wolf said at the time that he would step down immediately.
