The personnel adjustments of the Trump administration have begun, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Walters will be leaving
According to Axios, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters will leave the Trump administration. He is the first senior official to depart in a round of personnel adjustments expected as new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller prepares to take over the staff team. As a close confidant of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Walters' departure signifies that the power transition within the West Wing is underway.
As Miller's team prepares to take on more significant roles, the internal personnel landscape of the White House will also change. Walters is one of Wiles' closest political aides, and their collaborative relationship has lasted over a decade. Sources indicate that Walters submitted his resignation on Friday, and after friendly negotiations between the two parties, it was decided that he would leave.
