Sanders, Shah Planning to Leave White House

June 13, 2018 · 8:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Two of the most visible members of the Trump administration are planning their departures, the latest sign of upheaval in a White House marked by turmoil,” CBS News reports.

“Press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah are both heading for the exits… Sanders, who has become a confidante of President Trump since the departure of former communications director Hope Hicks, has told friends that she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year…. Shah is also considering his exit, but he has not yet settled on an exact date.”

“Several other lower-level positions in the communications department left vacant in recent weeks are likely to remain unfilled, with more departures expected in the coming weeks.”
