Trump to make key changes

– US President Donald Trump said yesterday he’s planning to make several key staffing changes as he prepares to deal with newly empowered Democrats and with the looming outcome of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“I have three or four or five positions that I’m thinking about,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. “I need flexibility.”

Trump did not rule out the possibility that his chief of staff John Kelly might be leaving. “At some point he’s going to want to move on.”

Democrats picked up at least 36 seats in the House of Representatives in the recent midterm elections, giving them control of the lower chamber. –
