2016 ELECTION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A fierce internal rivalry is unfolding at the White House over the communications director job, with some aides warning they will quit depending on whom President Donald Trump chooses to fill the post. No senior position in the White House has seen as much volatility as communications director. Four people have held the title since the inauguration, with a fresh vacancy opening up following Hope Hicks’s announcement last month that she would be leaving the White House. Uncertainty over that hire comes as Mr. Trump reshapes his senior staff, cabinet and his private legal team handling the investigation of any ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia.”
