John Kelly replaces Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff - Fox News
President Trump late Friday replaced his embattled chief of staff Reince
Priebus with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, the decorated
retired general who had been leading his administration's charge on
immigration enforcement.
The seismic shake-up capped another rollercoaster week in the West Wing,
rocked by the public clash between Priebus and new White House
communications director Anthony Scaramucci. The latter's hiring prompted
press secretary Sean Spicer to resign in protest one week ago and
immediately touched off speculation that Priebus could be next.
White House sources confirmed to Fox News that Priebus, the former
Republican National Committee chairman, resigned secretly on Thursday.
"It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve this
president and our country," Priebus said in a statement. "I want to
thank the president for giving me this very special opportunity. I will
continue to serve as a strong supporter of the president's agenda and
policies."
