‘I answer to the chief of staff and I will continue to do that’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "I know you want to talk about policy. I want to ask about some of the White House personnel issues. When general Kelly is sworn in on Monday as White House chief of staff, will all staff members immediately begin reporting to him?"
MULVANEY: "I don’t know. I answer to the chief of staff and I will continue to do that. The office of management and budget actually reports directly to the chief of staff. Obviously we answer to the president as everybody does in the west wing, but as far as I know, my reporting does change nor do I have any reason for it to change so we’ll continue to do our business at omb the same way we did last week. I think we’re doing some good work. know, my reporting does change nor do I have any reason for it to change so we’ll continue to do our business at omb the same way we did last week. I think we’re doing some good work. Look forward to continuing that under general Kelly’s leadership."
