Andrew Meehan, a spokesman and top aide to Homeland Secretary Kevin McAleenan, is reportedly leaving the Trump administration over trust issues.
Meehan became acting assistant secretary of public affairs just four months ago to serve with former CBP boss, McAleenan, who promoted to acting secretary in April.
The White House had become frustrated with Meehan’s strategy in rolling out policy changes and his timing on announcements, Axios reports.
“Meehan, who was in Panama in advance of the secretary’s visit during the Flores rollout, made the decision to leave government a couple of weeks ago,” a senior DHS official told Axios.
Homeland Security and White House officials had not responded to questions about Meehan’s departure as of Thursday night.
