Mick Mulvaney, former acting White House Chief of Staff and Co-Founder of the Freedom Caucus, says the Trump administration “set” Katie Zacharia “up to fail” by not giving her enough preparation before she began her five-day tenure as White House press secretary. Mulvaney says President Donald Trump does not necessarily need to quickly replace her and says whether Chief of Staff Susie Wiles remains in her role much longer is “anybody’s guess." He speaks with Kailey Leinz on Bloomberg’s "Balance of Power." (Source: Bloomberg)
