President-elect Trump’s nominee to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency has just withdrawn his name from consideration.

In a tweet, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister explained that “as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration.”

He doesn’t explain much more than that, but his nomination came under fire from people suggesting he would backstab President Trump over his actions in the past, specifically arresting a pastor for holding church services during COVID.

Here’s his full comments:

To have been nominated by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime. Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling. I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County.
