President Trump announced he is replacing acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney with North Carolina Congressmember Mark Meadows. Meadows, a staunch Trump ally, will be Trump’s fourth chief of staff in just over three years. He previously led the House Freedom Caucus and has promoted the racist “birther” conspiracy theory about President Obama.
In other White House staffing news, Adam Kennedy, deputy communications director who has been with the administration since day one, is expected to leave his position later this week. He will reportedly be replaced by Julia Hahn, a former Breitbart writer.
