Hannity to interview Priebus

Fox News’ Sean Hannity announced on his radio show he will interview former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Fox News on Friday night. 

Hannity interviewed outgoing press secretary Sean Spicer a week ago after he announced his resignation last Friday. 

President Trump announced on Twitter Friday he would be replacing Priebus with Ret. Gen. John Kelly. 

I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American….

…and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration

Trump praised the outgoing chief of staff in a tweet, saying he was proud of him.  

I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!

The exit interviews with Hannity come amid a major White House staff shakeup involving newly appointed communications director Anthony Scaramucci. 

Spicer reportedly resigned because he disagreed with the president’s decision to bring Scaramucci on to lead the communications shop, which was also opposed by Priebus. 

Priebus’ departure comes as Scaramucci vulgarly lashed out at Priebus in a New Yorker interview published on Thursday.
