Morehouse man Jeh Johnson will be named the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to reports.
Johnson, who served as the general counsel of the Department of Defense from 2009 to 2012, is replacing Janet Napolitano, who resigned earlier this year, and will be the first African American to serve in this Cabinet position.
“He is one of the most highly qualified and respected national-security leaders, having served as the senior lawyer for the largest government agency in the world,” a White House official told Reuters on Thursday.
