WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said.

Early reports stated the cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue per a White House official with knowledge of the situation.

Another claim is that he was removed from his position because the Department of Homeland Security is investigating him for “serious financial crimes”.

No matter the cause, the result was the abrupt removal with McEntee not allowed to collect any belongings ― including his jacket ― before being escorted out, according to the Journal.

McEntee previously served as an aide to Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. On Tuesday, the Trump campaign announced McEntee will be rejoining the organization as a senior adviser for campaign operations. He’ll work alongside Katrina Pierson, who served as the 2016 campaign’s national spokesperson, and will now oversee the campaign’s national grassroots outreach.

All indications from various sources are that the John Mc Entee investigation is not related to President Trump.
