The White House on Friday rejected reports that President Donald Trump is preparing to reshuffle his Cabinet as he approaches the one-year mark of his second term.
The denial came after CNN reported that potential changes were being discussed for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, citing several people familiar with internal conversations.
According to the report, no decisions had been made and any adjustments would not occur until early next year. But White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt called the account inaccurate, posting on X that Trump “could not be happier with his Cabinet.”
Leavitt posted Friday on X, “This story is 100% Fake News, and the White House repeatedly told this to CNN in the strongest possible terms. Yet they still wrote the story because their ratings are dying so they thrive off drama that does not exist. The truth is: President Trump could not be happier with his Cabinet. Shame on you, @CNN.”
Newsweek has reached out to the DHS and Energy Department via email on Friday afternoon for comment.
Trump returned to office in January and has so far maintained a more stable Cabinet than during his first term, when several secretaries — including those leading the State and Defense departments — departed following policy disputes or personal clashes with the president.
