WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson resigned Monday, amid multiple ethics investigations and criticism from top lawmakers.
Jackson said he will step down on April 18. He did not mention the allegations in his brief statement Monday, saying only that he wanted to attend to personal and family matters.
The resignation came after criticism from members of Congress that Jackson has refused to respond adequately to allegations of impropriety.
No names have been floated as candidates to replace Jackson, a long-time friend of President Bush from their days in Texas.
