Jonathan Swan: “Over the past 24 hours, President Trump has been privately asking many people who they think should be his new chief of staff.”
“Trump has asked confidants what they think about the idea of installing Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, as John Kelly’s permanent replacement… Trump has also mentioned three other candidates besides Meadows, according to a source with direct knowledge. I don’t yet have their names.”
