Bringing on a communications specialist to lead impeachment messaging seemed like a no-brainer to some Trump allies. Inside the White House, it became another battle
When former top Treasury official Tony Sayegh showed up in the West Wing roughly two weeks ago to discuss a role helping out with President Donald Trump’s war against impeachment, his surprise appearance kicked off yet another West Wing turf battle.Worried about their positions of power in the Trump orbit, several senior administration officials started to raise concerns about Sayegh.
For long-time White House observers, the back-and-forth over Sayegh’s potential hire just showed off the tried-and-true, factional nature of this particular White House: a team-of-rivals approach on steroids. Trump is always at the center of activity, and aides often disagree about trade decisions, foreign policy or personnel moves in front of him in the Oval Office. The only difference now in Year Three of his presidency is that the circle of aides around him is much smaller.
The chief of staff’s office and White House counsel’s office clashed over the power to drive the strategy and messaging, though lately that has subsided slightly. “Here’s the thing: I don’t have teams. Everyone is talking about teams. I’m the team. I did nothing wrong,” Trump said told reporters recently.
