Trump Close to Filling Out White House Staff

Politico: “Some jobs are now seen as near-locks. Stephen Miller, Trump’s chief speechwriter and policy adviser on the campaign, is expected to be named a senior policy adviser. Rick Dearborn, the current executive director of the presidential transition team and a former chief of staff to Sen. Jeff Sessions, is widely expected to head the White House Office of Legislative Affairs… And George Gigicos, one of Trump’s earliest staffers and a veteran of the George W. Bush White House, is in line to serve as director of White House advance.”

“Some people close to Trump said that Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s final campaign manager, who has publicly flirted with running a pro-Trump group outside the government and has said she already declined the post of press secretary, is now considered more likely to enter the administration than she was a week ago. Among the titles under discussion would be serving as a senior adviser or assistant to the president or possibly as a deputy chief of staff for communications, they said.”
