With a five-month impeachment saga behind them, White House aides are bracing for the prospect of another staff shake-up in the West Wing as President Trump looks to enter a new chapter of his presidency.
Trump effectively lost confidence in his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, months ago, but was convinced not to act by close aides, who argued a leadership change in the White House during impeachment could cause unnecessary chaos. The impeachment ended Wednesday in acquittal. And officials say Mulvaney's future is now in question.Mulvaney himself is increasingly unhappy in the role, aware it has been diminished from previous chiefs of staff, people familiar with the dynamics said.
"I just wanted to say that this reflection today is a small reflection of the kind of support you have all across the country," Meadows said."We've got your back."Mulvaney was in the audience, but Trump did not single him out during his remarks.Meadows and Mulvaney remain close, and they sat in adjacent seats during a charter flight from Iowa following a flood of Trump surrogates during the state's caucuses.
