President Trump is set to appoint Dan Scavino, a close adviser and influential figure in the MAGA movement, to oversee hiring at the White House, replacing Gor, amidst internal debates and strategic shifts within the administration.
Dan Scavino, a long-time Trump adviser and trusted aide, has taken over as director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, a key role responsible for staffing the administration, succeeding Sergio Gor, and will oversee personnel transitions and staffing quality.
Former congressman Adam Kinzinger believes that former Trump adviser Dan Scavino talking to federal authorities is "real trouble" for Trump, as Scavino reportedly told Special Counsel Jack Smith that Trump was uninterested in stopping the violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Despite Scavino's claims of executive privilege, a judge has rejected this, potentially leading to more legal trouble for Trump, who faces criminal indictments related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his involvement in the Capitol riots. Trump has denied all charges.
According to sources, a former top aide to Donald Trump had to write and present tweets to be posted on Trump's account during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, as Trump was slow to take action and reluctant to calm his protesters through Twitter. The aide, Dan Scavino, was among those who tried to persuade Trump to send a forceful message to the protesters, eventually leading to the posting of a tweet urging supporters to remain peaceful. Trump's reluctance to put out more messages on Twitter was revealed during Scavino's testimony to federal investigators.
Dan Scavino, a former aide to Donald Trump, has reportedly told the special counsel that Trump was "just not interested" in taking additional steps to curtail the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, but was instead "very angry" about the "stolen election." Scavino's testimony corroborates previous accounts of Trump's reaction to the riot and his reluctance to take action. Despite initially citing executive privilege, Scavino cooperated with the special counsel's office, providing key insights into Trump's activities on that day. The Department of Justice declined to pursue charges against Scavino, and Trump has denied any wrongdoing in the indictments against him.
