Joe Grogan, President Donald Trump’s top domestic policy adviser and an influential member of the White House coronavirus task force, has announced his intention to resign from the Trump administration next month. Grogan, who currently serves as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council overseeing a wide range of issues, including health care and regulation, confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that May 24 would be his last day on the job. He said he’s leaving the White House on good terms and that, despite reports of hisrepeated clashes with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, his departure “has nothing to do with Azar,” Politico reported. Azar himself has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks that the White House is mulling his potential ouster. No one outworked me,” Grogan told Politico of his planned departure, adding that he’d had a “great conversation” about it with Trump and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
