WASHINGTON (Reuters) — President Donald Trump is considering Republican Representative Mark Meadows, former campaign adviser David Bossie, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for White House chief of staff, a source familiar with the search said on Monday.
Another source said Trump was also looking at U. S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer for the job.
The search comes after the president’s initial choice for the job bowed out and as his White House braces for an onslaught of political and legal challenges in the coming year.
On Saturday Trump announced that his current chief, General John Kelly, would be leaving the White House at the end of the year.
