Mick Mulvaney, former White House chief of staff to President Donald Trump, said Thursday he is resigning from his current post as special envoy to Northern Ireland, joining a growing list of officials departing less than two weeks before the end of Trump’s term.

“I quit because it is the only thing I could do -- officially -- to express my disapproval of what happened yesterday,” Mulvaney told Bloomberg News.
