Whose left standing from this "talented" Trump bunch?
Taken outside of a veterans event in Ohio, the picture features former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, White House advisers Sebastian Gorka and Omarosa Manigault, communications director Anthony Scaramucci, and White House staff secretary Rob Porter.
The last to go was Porter, who resigned from his position following allegations of physical and emotional abuse made by his ex-wives. Despite lacking a security clearance because of a protective order issued in 2010, Porter had risen to a position in which he worked closely with Chief of Staff John Kelly to vet and decide what was sent to the president’s desk. The White House has continued to reiterate that President Trump and Kelly have “full confidence” in Porter’s abilities.
Lewandowski was fired from the Trump campaign in June 2016 after an alleged “power struggle” with then-chief strategist Paul Manafort (who exited the campaign months later amid an active FBI investigation into his political consulting business).
Gorka served as deputy assistant to the president until August of 2017, when he either resigned (which is what he told Fox & Friends) or was forced out (and barred from White House grounds).
Manigault, formerly communications director for the White House’s Office of Public Liaison, resigned in December and, according to the Daily Beast, was ultimately escorted away from White House grounds.
And Scaramucci served as White House communications director for 10 days before being dismissed by the president.
