Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials tell WSJ. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third W.H. official with knowledge of the situation.

In his role in the White House, McEntee did tasks such as giving the president messages and making sure the clocks were correctly set for daylight-saving time.

Minutes later, the Trump campaign announced McEntee would be joining the reelection effort as a senior adviser for campaign operations.
