Top Trump aide to leave White House
Top Trump aide to leave White House
By Jordan Fabian - 06/19/18 05:04 PM EDT
Joe Hagin, the White House adviser who led planning for President Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, is leaving his post for the private sector.
With Hagin’s exit, the White House is losing one of its most deeply experienced aides. The 62-year-old deputy chief of staff for operations held the same post in former President George W. Bush’s White House and also served Bush’s father and former President Ronald Reagan.
“Joe Hagin has been a huge asset to my administration,” Trump said in a statement. “We will miss him in the office and even more on the road. I am thankful for his remarkable service to our great country.”
The White House has not named a successor for Hagin.
Hagin’s departure further raises the historic level of staff turnover in the Trump administration, which has struggled with infighting and personal rivalries.
