Trump Cabinet exodus likely after midterms
After two years of already-high turnover, the president is expected to push out or accept the resignations of several more department chiefs by January.
The list includes United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who announced last month that she will depart by the end of the year, with no replacement in line. Trump is widely expected to oust Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whom he has criticized for months. Others who appear most likely to depart, according to administration sources and White House advisers, include Defense Secretary James Mattis, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a close ally to chief-of-staff Gen. John Kelly.
Trump allies said that, in choosing replacements, the president will have a particular focus on how they might benefit him politically.
