President Trump has picked North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows to be the next White House chief of staff.
Trump announced his pick on Friday night. Meadows had already said he would be leaving Congress to join the administration, though he did not say in what capacity. Acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney will become the U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland.
“I am pleased to announce that Congressman Mark Meadows will become White House Chief of Staff. I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one,” Trump tweeted. “I want to thank Acting Chief Mick Mulvaney for having served the Administration so well. He will become the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. Thank you!”
