The consulting firm Berkeley Research Group has worked on many federal contracts but worked with DHS after Chad Wolf was named the chief of staff to DHS’s Transportation Security Administration in 2017. His wife Hope Wolf serves as the vice president of professional staff operations at the company.


Kyle Herrig, the founder and president of Accountable.US, a liberal-leaning watchdog, told NBC News the contracts could be a conflict of interest.

After Mr. Wolf joined DHS, it began pumping millions of dollars into his wife’s firm, which also happens to be his largest financial asset,” Herrig told the network. “The arrangement is highly problematic and warrants congressional scrutiny.”
