Donald Trump has named Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, as his White House chief of staff, NBC News has learned.
Trump's transition team confirmed the appointment Sunday afternoon, but sources said that the decision was finalized Saturday night
The Republican, who is serving his third term with the RNC, was reported to be at the top of Trump's shortlist for the key White House position in the days following the election. That list also reportedly included Steve Bannon, Trump's controversial campaign CEO whose website, Breitbart News, has espoused anti-Semitic and nationalist views.
Instead, Bannon will serve as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president, Trump's transition team announced Sunday. Under Bannon, Breitbart.com has embraced racist conspiracy theories and become what Bannon termed "a platform for the alt-right."
Not sure about Priebus, but I wish he'd have picked someone other than Bannon for any post. He should give Kellyanne Conway a position, as she actually managed to keep Trump on message 1/2 the time. (Whenever she could pry his twitter away.)
