There are some major changes coming to President Donald Trump’s staff in Washington, D.C. — and the heads have already begun to roll.
A top White House communications staffer resigned Tuesday, and Trump is reportedly considering a major staff overhaul to help him “drain the swamp.”
The departure of Michael Dubke, Trump’s communications director, comes as aides say Trump has grown increasingly frustrated by leaks and government bureaucracy.
The liberal media’s non-stop allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election has Trump saying, “Enough is enough.”
Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.

Dubke wrote in a statement that it had been an honor to serve Trump and “my distinct pleasure to work side-by-side, day-by-day with the staff of the communications and press departments.”
Dubke’s last day has not yet been determined.
His departure raises questions about whether previous Trump loyalists are headed to the White House. Trump has entertained formally bringing back his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie.
Bossie told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” that the Trump administration has reached out to him but hasn’t offered him a job yet.
“They have talked to many people, including me,” Bossie said. He later added: “It’s an ongoing conversation and that’s a fair way to put it.”
Dubke’s hiring was intended to lighten the load on Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, who had also been handling the duties of communications director during Trump’s first month in office.
Trump has privately pinned some of the blame for his administration’s rough start on the White House’s communications strategy.
While overseas, Trump’s longtime lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, joined a still-forming legal team to help the president shoulder the intensifying investigations into Russian interference in the election and his associates’ potential involvement. More attorneys with deep experience in Washington investigations are expected to be added, along with crisis communication experts, to help the White House in the weeks ahead.
