There are about 600 positions that need to be filled. They have nominated (these are almost automatically approved) 98 or so. Of course on their first visit to the WH during the transition Jared asked how many of the staffers at the WH needed to be replaced. All of them.

Bannon doesn't seem to think they are necessary

I don't think anyone wants to get near them now from a legal bills standpoint to literally being his chew toy.
