Rat jumps. Trump announces departure of White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett

“Kevin Hassett, who has done such a great job for me and the Administration, will be leaving shortly. His very talented replacement will be named as soon as I get back to the U.S.,” Trump said in a Twitter post on Sunday night.

Trump did not provide a reason for the latest high-level departure from the administration.

Hassett is poised to become the latest in a long line of senior White House officials and Cabinet secretaries to depart the administration since Trump took office in January 2017.

Ex-bank CEO charged with lending millions to Paul Manafort in exchange for help getting Trump White House job

Stephen Calk, former CEO of Federal Savings Bank, has been indicted on charges that he loaned former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort millions of dollars in exchange for Manafort’s help securing a high-level Trump administration position.

According to prosecutors, Manafort received three separate home loans from Federal Savings Bank in 2016 and 2017, valued up to $16 million.

In exchange for the loans, Manafort secured a spot on a prestigious Trump campaign committee for Calk, and helped get him a formal interview with the Trump transition team, although Calk wasn’t ultimately offered a job, the indictment says.
