FBI/JAMES COMEY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump, who has reportedly been isolated and frustrated by the negative coverage engulfing his administration in recent days, may be considering a major reorganization of his White House staff, according to report from Mike Allen of the news website Axios on Sunday [5-14-17].
Trump is said to have been furious at his communications team — led by the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, and communications director, Michael Dubke — for what he has characterized as their failure to defend his decision to fire James Comey as FBI director, The New York Times reported Friday.
The Times said, however, that Trump had kept Spicer and the communications team in the dark regarding his decision to fire Comey until the last possible moment.
Regardless, Trump seems to be considering a sweeping shake-up of his West Wing staff amid the media firestorm that has followed his abrupt decision to fire Comey — the man who was overseeing an FBI investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 presidential election.”
