Trump says more Cabinet changes may follow Susie Wiles’ exit after GOP midterm losses; watch his “60 Minutes” remarks.

President Trump signaled that former chief of staff Susie Wiles won’t be the only high-profile administration official out the door in response to the GOP’s brutal midterm elections.

The commander-in-chief teased a potential Cabinet shakeup in a “60 Minutes” interview recorded just hours before Wiles got the boot.

“I do,” Trump told correspondent Ross Douthat when asked if he plans to terminate anyone from his team after Republicans lost their majorities in the House and Senate, according to clip of the interview released Friday night.

The president’s interview with the CBS News program was taped before he announced the departure of chief of staff Susie Wiles, and his comments suggest his changes to the administration may extend beyond the top White House official.

“A little bit,” Trump continued. “I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good, but I’ll be doing maybe a few changes.

“I don’t want to mention who.”
