Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, said the president’s incitement of Wednesday’s assault on the U.S. Capitol now stains his legacy, and people who worked for him aren’t sure it was worth it.
“The level of embarrassment and shame is hard to describe,” Mulvaney told Bloomberg Radio on Thursday after resigning in protest as Trump’s envoy to Northern Ireland. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and several other White House officials have also stepped down in the aftermath of the mob storming the U.S. Capitol.
