(Reuters) -Chad Mizelle, the Department of Justice chief of staff and a close ally of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, will step down in the coming weeks to return to his family in Tampa, Axios reported on Tuesday.

Mizelle told Axios he will continue to support the Trump administration and focus on exposing left-wing groups responsible for violence across America.

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for comment.
