President Trump warned against reading into reports of an impending Cabinet shake-up during a brief phone interview on Sunday.

Trump told The Hill that reports of staffing shake-ups should not be read into, saying the country was on the right track.

His comments come after Attorney General Pam Bondi was ousted from her post Thursday, just weeks after former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was removed from her role.

Since Bondi’s departure, speculation has swirled about the future of other Cabinet secretaries, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and FBI Director Kash Patel.

However, the White House and its allies have been adamant that there are no staffing changes in the works.

“Secretaries Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick are both doing a great job standing up for American workers, and they continue to have President Trump’s full support,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement.

The White House was also quick to quash a report from The Guardian that said Trump had polled members of his Cabinet about replacing Gabbard following her recent testimony on Capitol Hill.

“POTUS has total confidence in [Gabbard] and any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news. The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement posted on the social media platform X.

Jason Miller, a GOP strategist and former Trump campaign spokesperson, also dismissed reporting that suggested more Cabinet firings were coming.

“Anyone pushing a ‘Cabinet change’ story is either a loser who wants the job or a friend of the loser who wants the job,” Miller wrote on X.
