Pres. Trump names North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows as Chief of Staff
[Reuters] President Donald Trump parted ways on Friday with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and replaced him with conservative lawmaker and close ally Mark Meadows, who was a strong Trump defender during the Democratic impeachment drive.

Representative Meadows takes over as the White House struggles to advance a consistent message about the coronavirus crisis and as Trump goes into a bruising re-election contest.

He becomes the fourth chief of staff in Trump’s three years in office, tasked with attempting to bring order to a chaotic presidency.

Meadows is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina and was a combative defender of the president during the impeachment saga, so much so that Trump singled him out for praise at a Feb. 6 event after the Republican-led Senate acquitted the president.

"He’s a tremendously talented man, not just as a politician. As a human being, he’s incredible," Trump said at the time.
