President Donald Trump replaced his
beleaguered White House Chief of Staff,
Reince Priebus, after only six months on
the job on Friday, installing retired General
John Kelly in his place in a major shake-up
of his top team.
Trump announced the move in a tweet a
day after his new communications director,
Anthony Scaramucci, accused Priebus of
leaking information to reporters in a
profanity-laced tirade.
"
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....
9:49 PM - Jul 28, 2017"
Trump issued his decision just as he
landed aboard Air Force One after a visit to
Long Island. Priebus was on the plane with
him and left with no comment.
Trump had lost confidence in Priebus,
privately questioning his competence after
major legislative items failed to pass the
U.S. Congress, a Trump confidant said.
Kelly has been secretary of the Department
of Homeland Security
“Reince is a good man,” Trump told
reporters after he got off Air Force One at
Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of
Washington.
He said Kelly will do a "fantastic job"
