President Donald Trump floated the idea this weekend of naming Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, as his new Chief of Staff.
Citing three sources close to the president, Axios reported on Sunday evening that President Trump asked people privately who they think he should name to replace John Kelly. And Trump has additionally been asking those close to him what they think of Meadows.
“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, according to these three sources. Trump has also mentioned three other candidates besides Meadows, according to a source with direct knowledge. I don’t yet have their names,” Axios reported.
On Monday Freedom Caucus founder Mark Meadows released a statement saying serving as Trump’s Chief of Staff would be an incredible honor!
