Resignations, firings, reassignments: List of senior officials who left Trump administration

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke will step down at the end of December, the latest senior official to exit Trump's high-turnover administration.

An ex-congressman from Montana, Zinke has faced scrutiny over several matters. Trump gave no reason for Zinke's departure after announcing it on Twitter. Trump said he would name a new Interior Secretary next week.

On Friday, Trump said Mick Mulvaney, head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), would become acting White House chief of staff.

Trump's White House has had the highest turnover of senior-level staff of the past five presidents, according to figures compiled by the Brookings Institution think tank.

Here are some senior figures who have been fired, quit or otherwise changed roles in the administration: 

2018

Ryan Zinke - He will leave at the end of 2018 after being Interior Secretary since early 2017. In the job, he moved to encourage oil drilling and coal mining despite environmental protests. He also faced investigations into his use of security details, chartered flights and a real estate deal.

Mick Mulvaney - After several top candidates declined to become White House chief of staff, Trump said on Friday that Mulvaney would fill the role on an acting basis. A former congressman from South Carolina, Mulvaney has been heading up Trump's OMB and will retain that post, but delegate day-to-day duties there to a deputy. Mulvaney also filled in for about a year as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

John Kelly - A retired Marine Corps general, Kelly was hired as White House chief of staff to bring order to the chaotic Trump White House, but ultimately fell out with his boss. Trump announced on Dec. 8 that Kelly would leave at year-end.

Matthew Whitaker - Appointed acting attorney general in November, Whitaker is already on track to leave. Trump said on Dec. 7 he will nominate William Barr to be permanent attorney general, subject to Senate confirmation. Whitaker had replaced Jeff Sessions in the top Justice Department post. As acting attorney general, Whitaker took over supervision of a probe led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and any collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign. The probe has clouded Trump's presidency.

Jeff Sessions - After months of being attacked and ridiculed by the president for recusing himself from the Mueller prove, the former Alabama Republican senator was finally forced out as attorney general on Nov. 7.

Nikki Haley - She said on Oct. 9 that she would step down at the end of the year as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. On Dec. 7, Trump put forward State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert as her successor, subject to Senate review.

Don McGahn - Trump said in August the White House counsel would leave amid strains between the two over the Mueller probe.

Scott Pruitt - The Environmental Protection Agency chief quit on July 5 under fire over a series of ethics controversies.

David Shulkin - White House officials said on March 28 that the Veterans Affairs secretary would resign.

H.R. McMaster - The national security adviser was replaced on March 22 by John Bolton.

Andrew McCabe - The deputy FBI director was fired in mid-March by Sessions.

Rex Tillerson - The secretary of state was fired by Trump on March 13 after long-standing tension between them.

Gary Cohn - The National Economic Council director and former Goldman Sachs president said on March 5 he would resign.
