Ex-DHS chief Chad Wolf recalls his 9/11 experience, says threat to homeland has evolved
Fox News
Chad Wolf, who headed the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration between 2019 and 2021, said the 9/11 attacks had a "lasting impact" on his life.
"We were soon evacuated out of the office building where we worked, and in the park next to that building I heard the Pentagon had been hit and soon after heard the sonic boom of one or two fighters that were going to intercept Flight 93," Wolf said. "That morning [of 9/11] is still pretty fresh for me and had a very lasting impact on what I wanted to do professionally," he added. "I felt that the U.S. had obviously been attacked that morning and wanted to play a role in how we responded to that. Now, I didn't predict DHS at the time but I knew there would be a response to it and that life was going to change accordingly. And if I could play some small role in that, that would be great."More Related News
