Mick Mulvaney has been President Trump’s acting chief of staff from December of 2018 until … Friday night.
I am pleased to announce that Congressman Mark Meadows will become White House Chief of Staff. I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one….

President Trump swapped out the former South Carolina lawmaker-turned-chief of the White House Office of Management and Budget with North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows, who’s been a Trump advocate and supporter. Meadows was on the shortlist to replace General John Kelly when he left the post.
If you’re wondering where Mulvaney is going, he just got a plum job from Trump:
….I want to thank Acting Chief Mick Mulvaney for having served the Administration so well. He will become the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. Thank you!

It’s Trump’s fourth chief of staff in three-plus years.
This is a developing story.
