I originally had mixed emotions when I heard that Energy Secretary Rick Perry was going to step down.
Perry: "No. I'm here, I'm serving. They've been writing the story for at least nine months now. One of these days they will probably get it right, but it's not today, it's not tomorrow, it's not next month."
The Politico reporter cited three unnamed sources who also denied his plans of leaving the Trump administration having anything to do with Ukraine.
Haynes: "While the beltway media has breathlessly reported on rumors of Secretary Perry's departure for months, he is still the Secretary of Energy and a proud member of President Trump's Cabinet. One day the media will be right. Today is not that day."
On Saturday, Axios reported that Trump told House Republicans his July 2019 call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was at Perry's request, and Perry confirmed that he asked Trump to call Zelensky-but said it only concerned the country's developing energy sector, not the Biden family.
Perry, at one point, had suggested abolishing the Department of Energy, so it is poetic that he serves as Secretary of Energy.
Remember, this former Texas governor has first name contacts with folks throughout the energy business around the globe.
