John Bryson has resigned as commerce secretary, telling President Obama in a letter that the seizure he suffered recently “could be a distraction to the presidents focus on rebuilding the U.S. economy.
In a letter sent late Wednesday to Obama, Bryson said “This is a critical period for our countrys economy. We must each day continue to support the growth of Americas businesses, exports and manufacturing and the vitally important jobs they create.
