Trump denies that few want White House chief of staff job
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump is disputing news reports that he’s having a hard time finding a new White House chief of staff.
In a tweet disparaging the reports as “fake,” Trump says many people, “over ten, are vying for and wanting the White House Chief of Staff position.”
He asks: “Why wouldn’t someone want one of the truly great and meaningful jobs in Washington?”
Trump is scrambling to find a new chief of staff after his first choice — Nick Ayers, the vice president’s chief of staff — backed out at the last minute and several other potential candidates signaled they weren’t interested in the job.
Trump announced Saturday that John Kelly, the current chief of staff, would leave the White House at the end of the year.
