Mick Mulvaney has gone noticeably quiet over the past week, just as the president’s impeachment fight picks up.
The White House’s acting chief of staff has not appeared on any major TV shows to defend President
Donald Trump, nor has he had any success in setting up an internal
White House war room to respond to Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.
Instead, the president’s top aide has found his influence dwindling inside the West Wing as Trump faces the greatest threat to his presidency to date.
