  • Later, a senior administration official said that Mulvaney being named as acting chief of staff has no time limit.

    "There's no time limit. He's the acting chief of staff, which means he's the chief of staff. He got picked because the president liked him," the official said.

    Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official cited Mulvaney's experience as a former member of Congress.

  • "He knows Congress. He knows Capitol Hill," the official said, adding Mulvaney is "fiscally responsible," and that Kelly, "the current chief," was pleased with his successor.

    Russ Vought will be Mulvaney's replacement as OMB director.

    Mulvaney's replacement leading the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection had already been sworn in.

    Mulvaney was at the White House earlier today and met with Trump, the official said.

  • Information

    Mulvaney named acting chief-of-staff, that's what the president wants: Official

  • "Mick was over here today (WH) working on budget stuff. They met face-to-face this afternoon," the official said. When questioned about why Mulvaney was named the acting chief of staff rather than simply chief of staff, the official said, "Because that's what the president wants."

  • Trump announced last week that Kelly, who served in the post for more than a year, would soon be departing.

    His first choice was Nick Ayers, the vice-president's chief of staff, who bowed out after being unable to come to an agreement on how long he would serve in the post.

    Trump's first chief of staff, Reince Priebus, lasted six months amid WH chaos.
