Trump political director leaves after just 6 weeks

Veteran Republican political operative Rick Wiley, who was hired as Donald Trump's national political director in April, is already being shown the door. "Rick Wiley was hired on a short-term basis as a consultant until the campaign was running full steam," the campaign said in a statement Wednesday. "It is now doing better than ever, we are leading in the polls, and we have many exciting events ready to go, far ahead of schedule, while Hillary continues her long, boring quest against Bernie. We would like to thank Rick for helping us during this transition period."
