President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was fired on Monday, according to three White House officials.
The president’s re-election campaign announced Tuesday that McEntee had been hired as a senior adviser. It wasn’t clear why McEntee, a well-liked figure in the White House, had been dismissed, and campaign aides weren’t given a reason. McEntee told fellow Trump aides that he had resigned.
