Reince Priebus is out as White House Chief of Staff and Gen'l John Kelly, currently the Director of Homeland Security, is going to replace him.
More chaos, who'da thunk it! Did I mention that Trump has only been in office for six months?
Has anyone been keeping track of all the changes so far? There was the firing of Michael Flynn, the recusal by Sessions, the firing of Preet Bharara, the firing of Comey, the resignation of Mark Corallo and the resignation of Sean Spicer. Those are just the personnel changes, did I miss anyone?
Reince Priebus, is out as White House chief of staff, and President Donald Trump announced on Twitter on Friday that Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly will replace him.
A senior White House official said Priebus had resigned on Thursday.
"I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration," Trump wrote.
He added, "I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!"
Priebus' resignation follows a sustained attack campaign from new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who went on an expletive laden rant against Priebus to the New Yorker earlier this week, calling the chief of staff a “f------ paranoid schizophrenic” and accusing him of trying to “c--- block” him and keep him out of the West Wing. Scaramucci had also accused Priebus of leaking to try to undermine him.
