(Reuters) -The White House is preparing for possible turnover in the Cabinet after U.S. President Donald Trump reaches the one-year mark of his term, CNN reported on Friday, citing multiple people familiar with the discussions.
The report said possible changes were in store at the Department of Homeland Security and the Energy Department.
Officials told CNN that no decisions have been made and no changes were expected until early next year, it said.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the CNN report was false. “The truth is: President Trump could not be happier with his Cabinet,” Leavitt wrote in a post on X.
Trump returned to office in January for his second term. His first administration saw several high-profile departures, including secretaries of state and defense, often following policy clashes or personal disagreements with the Republican president.
