Donald Trump is considering a massive overhaul of his White House staff that would see top strategists from his campaign brought back into the fold.
The president’s reported plan is the result of his growing frustration with what he views as his team’s inability to contain the burgeoning crisis involving alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
A Trump adviser told the Wall Street Journal: ‘Everything is in play.’
One of the changes expected is an expansion of lawyers and experienced public relations experts to better deal with the seemingly constant stream of revelations about Moscow’s interference in the election and potential improper dealings with Trump’s team.
Further scandalous reports dogged the president during his first international trip since taking office over the last nine days, and they have also threatened to overwhelm his administration.
As he mulls outside reinforcements to his operation, Trump returned late Saturday from his nine-day journey to a White House seemingly in crisis mode, with a barrage of reports hitting close to the Oval Office and involving Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and influential adviser.
White House aides prepared for potential changes ahead, with the president dismayed by what he perceives to be his communication team’s failures to push back against the allegations.
A rally planned Thursday in Iowa was postponed due to ‘an unforeseen change’ in Trump’s schedule.
The latest reports in the Russia matter said Kushner spoke with Russia’s ambassador to the United States about setting up secret communications with Moscow during the presidential transition.
While overseas, Trump’s longtime lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, joined a still-forming legal team to help the president shoulder the intensifying investigations into Russian interference in the election and his associates’ potential involvement.
