Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson says he intends to leave his post at the end of President Trump’s term.

Carson made his remarks in a segment airing Monday evening on Newsmax TV, a conservative news outlet. In his two years leading HUD, Carson has dialed back civil rights enforcement at the agency and suspended Obama-era rules that had been aimed at fighting housing segregation and discrimination.

“I will certainly finish out this term,” Carson said during his interview with Newsmax. But he added, “I would be interested in returning to the private sector because I think you have just as much influence, maybe more, there.”
