President Trump Names Rep. Mark Meadows As Next Chief Of Staff

President Trump announced in a series of tweets that Mark Meadows will replace Mick Mulvaney as the acting White House chief of staff. Mulvaney will become the US Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. The staff change had been rumored for months, but Trump waited until after his impeachment trial to make the change. Meadows, a strong supporter of Trump, was offered the job on Thursday, though his start date is not yet announced. Meadows' current term in the House was set to end in 2021.
