Republican National Committee

The ongoing Shakespearean drama that is Donald Trump’s White House has taken another twist, after the President announced he was replacing his chief of staff Reince Priebus.

"It is not strange that already people in the United States, in Britain and, soon, in Germany and the rest of the world will want somebody who will fight for them," said Reince Priebus, the Greek-American chairman of the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump's chief of staff, in Washington on Thursday, one day before the presidential transition.

On Sunday, president-elect Donald Trump appointed Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee and a loyal campaign adviser, his White House Chief of Staff.

Greek-American Washington insider Priebus was chosen from a shortlist of names that also included Steve Bannon, the right-wing media boss who took over Trump’s presidential campaign in its final weeks.
