Retired general John Kelly took command Monday of President Trump's White House staff, in a shakeup that could serve to restore discipline and focus to a White House that’s been gripped by internal power struggles that have played out in the press. “He will do a spectacular job, I have no doubt, as chief of staff,” Trump said minutes after Kelly was sworn in Monday morning. In his call, Scaramucci vowed to get Priebus canned and threatened to fire the White House communication staff one by one. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on CNN's "State of the Union," that senators "need to stay, they need to work, they need to pass something." White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on "Fox News Sunday" that Trump would make a decision on the payments this week.
