Two aides thrown under the Pruitt bus (that’s a dirty diesel bus, by the way).
The EPA spokesperson, Jahan Wilcox, declined to comment on the resignations and then told a reporter from The Atlantic, "“You have a great day, you’re a piece of trash.” Classy.

Still to be announced…
Joseph Hagin, point person on Korea summit, plans to leave White House soon.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the Post that there were no immediate personnel changes to be announced.
Hagin took the deputy chief of staff role the day Trump was inaugurated in 2017. He held the same title from 2001 until 2008 under former President George W. Bush.
Like chief of staff John Kelly, the Post reported, Hagin sought to impose order on a free-wheeling White House staff that was often roiled by chaos and competing factions.
He has been a key player in the administration’s preparations for the June 12 summit between Trump and Kim, which will mark the first ever meeting between a sitting U.S. president and North Korean premier.
Hagin traveled to Singapore last month with a delegation of U.S. officials, but returned after the North Koreans didn’t show up to the meeting. Trump scrapped the planned summit in late May, citing Pyongyang’s “hostilities” towards the U.S.

WTF, is happenening here?! Seriously, I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. 
Lartey, 54, and Young, 48, were career government officials who worked together in records management until this spring, when both were abruptly terminated from their jobs. Both are now unemployed and still full of questions about why they were stripped of their badges with no explanation and marched off of the White House grounds by Secret Service.

Wow…yup, prez just rips it up if he’s done with it. Out of sight, out of mind. BUT why were they fired??
Kafkaesque…that is the clue At the whim of T…was he just covering all leak-able non- loyalists??
He described the firing as traumatic and frustratingly Kafkaesque. “The only excuse that I’ve ever gotten from them,” he said, “was that you serve at the pleasure of the president.”

@dragonfly9 Personally, I think it’s just shear incompetence and a dereliction of duty. Trump is no leader and John Kelly doesn’t know how to be a good administrator. Or maybe they used the wrong kind of tape?

Or maybe T doesn’t want to have someone preserve records for him. Just eliminate the people doing the job and the job will go un-done.
White House aide Steven Cheung leaves communications staff
Special assistant to the president and director of rapid response Steven Cheung’s last day of work was Friday, according to multiple people briefed on his departure. President Donald Trump was abroad along with most of his senior staff, but Cheung’s last day still marked a low-key end of an era of sorts: he was one of the last remaining campaign-era Trump aides still working on the White House campus.

Yes, defy what is. That’s our guy!
A senior career Department of Justice (DOJ) official has resigned, one week after the Trump administration made a controversial announcement that it would argue key parts of ObamaCare are unconstitutional.
A DOJ official confirmed to The Hill that Joel McElvain resigned and his last day is July 6, but declined to comment on whether the resignation was due to last week’s announcement.
According to the Post, McElvain had worked at DOJ for over 20 years and submitted his resignation Friday, the day after DOJ announced it wouldn’t defend parts of ObamaCare. DOJ’s decision reversed years of legal work McElvain and the department had amassed to defend ObamaCare in court.

The White House aide who planned President Trump’s summit with North Korea in Singapore and served as a behind-the-scenes operations guru during the turbulent beginning of the administration is leaving his post, a White House spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Joseph Whitehouse Hagin, the deputy chief of staff for operations for Trump, will leave next month. He orchestrated the administration’s foreign trips, handled operational issues such as security clearances and served as a top ally to Chief of Staff John F. Kelly — though he was distrusted by some Trump loyalists because of his ties to past Republican presidents.

Top economic official leaving White House
Everett Eissenstat, a senior White House official who represented President Donald Trump at major international meetings, including this month’s dramatic G-7 summit in Canada, is leaving the administration next month.
When Eissenstat departs early next month, he’ll take with him a wealth of trade policy expertise at a time when the issue is at the center of a fierce debate in the White House. Before joining the White House, he was chief Republican trade counsel for the Senate Finance Committee under Hatch. Eissenstat also served as assistant U.S. trade representative for the Western Hemisphere.
