Add Dan Coats. The Turnover at the Top of the Trump Administration

By DENISE LU and KAREN YOURISH UPDATED JULY 29, 2019

After a fraught tenure marked by tension with the Oval Office, President Trump announced on July 28 that Dan Coats would step down as director of national intelligence.

[...]

With Mr. Coats’s departure, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence will become the fifth cabinet or cabinet-level agency operating without a permanent leader. The White House chief of staff, also a member of the cabinet, is currently serving in an acting capacity.

Mr. Trump has the record for cabinet turnover in a president’s first term, according to Kathryn Dunn Tenpas, a scholar at the Brookings Institution who wrote a presidential staff turnover study. He also has the record for White House churn, she said.
