Ex-Trump Aide to Return to White House

“A close aide to President Trump who was dismissed last year by the White House chief of staff at the time is expected to rejoin the West Wing,” the New York Times reports.

“John McEntee, who shadowed Mr. Trump as his body man, is slated to come back in a similar role… His return will mean a familiar presence with whom Mr. Trump is comfortable as he heads into the 2020 re-election campaign, and he is likely to divide duties with one of his successors, Nick Luna.”

“In March 2018, on the orders of the chief of staff at the time, John Kelly, Mr. McEntee was marched out of the West Wing, with no time to collect his belongings, people in the building said then. His security clearance had been denied at least in part because of an online gambling habit.”
