Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced her resignation from President Donald Trump’s administration a day after the storming of the U.S. Capitol building by protesters.

Chao on Jan. 7 released a letter she sent to the department in which she said the breach of the Capitol was “a traumatic and entirely avoidable event” and sought to connect it to how the president spoke at a rally shortly before it occurred.
