Another top White House adviser jumps ship
This was lost in the news blizzard a couple weeks ago, but is getting some play now since his replacement has been announced (see below).
The White House’s chief operations officer is leaving the administration, the White House said on Monday.
Daniel P. Walsh, whose title was deputy chief of staff, was in charge of the administration’s foreign trips, made decisions about the use of government resources by White House aides, oversaw the White House military office and played a critical role in the attempted planning of the Group of Seven summit at the president’s Doral resort, which was scuttled amid backlash over the emoluments clause.
Walsh was in charge of the July 4 Celebration of America on the Mall in Washington, which was derided by critics but seen internally as a rousing success, and was involved in most presidential rallies.
