Politico: The White Houses deep involvement in hiring decisions across the government is frustrating some of President Donald Trumps Cabinet secretaries, spurring early tussles between the presidents advisers and leaders of federal agencies. White House officials have sometimes rejected candidates who have previously criticized the president even if they boast sterling credentials or have the endorsement of top Republicans. And theyve often imposed their choices on agencies.
Many Cabinet nominees joined the administration believing theyd have wide latitude to pick lieutenants, but theyre beginning to realize Trumps powerful advisers are looking over their shoulders. The White Houses approach has already slowed hiring and the dozens of vacancies at key agencies could make it more difficult to implement some of Trumps policy proposals.
