On Friday, July 28, when Donald Trump announced a new White House Chief of Staff, it looked like Reince Priebus had been sacked, but rumours started spreading that he resigned days before Trump’s Twitter announcement.
A White House reporter for Wall Street Journal, Michael Bender confirmed that Priebus actually resigned but no public announcement was made until Trump’s – which looked more like a sack, even though he appreciated Priebus.
In a series of tweets, Bender wrote, “I resigned privately yesterday, Reince Priebus tells me.
“Trump told Priebus a change was coming 2 weeks ago, a senior admin official tells me; Kelly was offered—and he accepted—the job earlier this week.
“Trump loved Kelly’s Cabinet presentations, which consistently showed results, White House official says. “A killer,” Trump calls his new staff chief.”
"I resigned privately yesterday," Reince Priebus tells me.
