REPORT: Steve Bannon May Be Next on the John Kelly Chopping Block
Posted at 11:00 am on August 12, 2017 by Kimberly Ross The new White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, has certainly hit the ground running.
One of his first actions was firing big talker Anthony Scaramucci, clearly a volatile personality in an administration that needs to work on toning things down and tightening up. Now, reports are that Kelly is mulling over additional changes, and Steve Bannon’s name keeps coming up.
Politico reports, emphasis mine:
White House chief of staff John Kelly spent this week in Bedminster, N.J., pondering changes in the West Wing, according to four White House officials.
Kelly summoned aides to President Donald Trump’s golf club there to ask about their portfolios and make suggestions on how to make the West Wing communicate better and get more done, while giving people clear responsibilities and then holding them accountable. The role of chief strategist Steve Bannon has come under particular scrutiny in several conversations, particularly because he has a large staff, including an outside public relations expert, but no specific duties.
