Fired Trump assistant couldn't get security clearance over financial problems: report
President Trumps personal assistant was fired after he was denied a security clearance because of financial problems related to online gambling and tax issues, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
John McEntee, who has worked with Trump since early in his presidential campaign, was reportedly escorted out of the White House on Monday. He left so abruptly that he reportedly left his jacket in his office.
The Secret Service is investigating McEntee over his alleged online gambling problems and mishandling of taxes, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing senior administration officials.
McEntees duties included making sure Trump had markers to sign autographs, delivering messages to the president at his residence and ensuring the White House clocks were adjusted this past weekend for daylight saving time, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The Trump campaign announced on Tuesday that McEntee is rejoining the organization as a senior adviser.
