Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declined Sunday to say whether he is poised to permanently become Donald Trump’s top aide, instead remarking that the president “enjoys having me” in the West Wing.
“Are you going to lose the acting in your title? What’s the status on that?” asked host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week” — following an interview in which Mulvaney criticized the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, defended the administration’s decision to invalidate Obamacare, echoed the president’s threat to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border, and praised Trump for overriding proposed cuts by his Education Department to the Special Olympics.
The position was available because Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s former chief of staff and the president’s reported top pick for the job, wouldn’t agree to serve in the role for two years. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also turned down the offer.
