In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, President Donald Trump said he expects to dismiss “a little bit” from his team and make “maybe a few changes,” while declining to name who, according to The Gateway Pundit’s account and a clip shared by Steve Cortes on X. Asked if he would fire anyone after the midterms, Trump answered: “I do.” He added, “I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good, but I’ll be doing maybe a few changes,” per the outlet’s transcription of the segment.
Chief of staff switch announced
The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump said on Truth Social that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles would leave that role and “move over to the Trump Political Operation,” with longtime adviser Stephen Miller to take over as chief of staff. The outlet quotes Trump’s post: “Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!”
AF Post shared video of Trump telling reporters, “Susie has done a very good job. Great job. We’ve got to make moves sometimes,” and that he “wanted to make a change,” according to the outlet’s post.
Hegseth backed amid pressure claims
The Gateway Pundit wrote that, when asked if he continued to support Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump said, “I do.” The outlet also asserted that Democrats were planning to impeach Hegseth; that claim is The Gateway Pundit’s characterization.
What’s next
Trump declined to identify other officials who might be replaced, saying, “I don’t want to mention who,” per The Gateway Pundit’s recounting of the 60 Minutes exchange. The outlet added that Trump later played down the prospect of a sweeping overhaul, quoting him as saying, “We have a great cabinet.” The Gateway Pundit framed the midterm outcome as “heavy losses” for Republicans.
