WH Deputy Chief Of Staff Joe Hagin Hits The Exit

The Associated Press reports:

The White House aide who led the planning for President Donald Trump’s meeting last week with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un has decided to leave the Trump administration to return to the private sector.

Joe Hagin, the White House deputy chief of staff for operations, has served in every Republican White House since the Reagan administration. He held the same title in George W. Bush’s White House.

Hagin’s departure comes as the Trump administration continues to set records for staff turnover. More than 60 percent of those who served in senior positions at the beginning of the administration have exited.

News: White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Joe Hagin, who ran West Wing preparations for last week’s Singapore summit, is leaving the White House. Trump says: “We will miss him in the office and even more on the road.” His last day is expected to be July 6.
