On Monday, Trump will announce the establishment of a White House Office of American Innovation, which will be tasked with crafting ideas to reshape the federal bureaucracy to make it leaner and more effective, a White House official confirmed to CNN. The office will look to build on Trump's campaign promises to apply a business mentality to the federal government, which Trump has often decried as overly burdensome. The announcement was first reported Sunday night by The Washington Post. A White House spokesperson confirmed the new office would be announced on Monday, but declined to provide additional details about its mission.
