(Undated) —  Energy Secretary Rick Perry is denying reports that he will step down from his position.

Speaking at a press conference in Lithuania Monday, Perry said “They’ve been writing the story” for months now, but he’s here to serve.  Politico reported last week that the former Texas governor was expected to announce his resignation by the end of November.

The former Texas Governor has found himself mixed into the Ukraine controversy that triggered the House impeachment proceedings against President Trump.  Perry admitted to asking Trump to call Ukraine because he thought it was in the best interest of the U.S. and Ukraine to be energy partners.
