Trump Fires His Chief Of Staff Reince Priebus

US President Donald Trump has announced the firing of his Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus.

Trump in a tweet on Friday named General John Kelly as his new Chief of Staff.

Mr Kelly was the Homeland Security Secretary until his appointment.

Priebus has been in a feud with the new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

The decision comes days after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned.

 

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….
