White House 'getting hollowed out' by high-profile departures, says Chuck Schumer - as Trump administration defends high turnover

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has said “the White House is getting hollowed out” as top-level officials continue to leave President Donald Trump’s administration. “The number of people capable of doing things - doing real things, whether you agree or disagree ideologically - is getting smaller and smaller,” Mr Schumer told reporters at a news conference. The President’s top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, announced on Wednesday that he planned to resign, the latest in a string of high-profile departures from the White House.
