President Donald Trump has tapped Mich Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget as acting White House chief of staff.
“I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Mick has done an outstanding job while in the Administration,” Trump tweeted. “I look forward to working with him in this new capacity as we continue to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! John will be staying until the end of the year. He is a GREAT PATRIOT and I want to personally thank him for his service!”
Mulvaney, one of the original founders of the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus and an early backer of Trump during his candidacy for the presidency, was named as the director of the Office of Management and Budget in December of 2016.
