President Donald Trump has appointed Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney to replace John Kelly as acting chief of staff. I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Along with running the OMB, Mulvaney had also served as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau before a new director was sworn in Monday. Mulvaney reportedly showed little initial interest in becoming the president’s chief of staff. But on Friday he called it a “tremendous honor” to be appointed acting chief of staff by the president.
