Priebus Out as White House Chief of Staff; Trump Names John Kelly as Replacement

0

CNN reports that White House Chief of Staff and former chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin and Republican National Committee Reince Priebus resigned privately on Thursday, and that President Donald Trump has named Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to replace him.

The top-level staff changes end a tumultuous week for the White House as new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci gave a profane and aggressive interview to the New Yorker, Trump came under fire for an inappropriate and political speech to the Boy Scouts Jamboree and the Senate’s effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act failed.

“Reince is a good man. John Kelly will do a fantastic job,” Trump told reporters. “General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. He’s a great great American. Reince is a good man.”
Trump announced the move via Twitter Friday afternoon.
