[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] With less than a month remaining in U.S. President Donald Trump's term, confusion arose over the status of White House staff.


On the 23rd (local time), Wei Jia Jiang, a White House correspondent for CBS, reported that an email was sent to White House staff instructing them that they could leave the White House starting from January 4th.


The email obtained by correspondent Jiang stated that White House staff could leave starting January 4th next year, but employment would continue until the 19th, the last day of President Trump's term. The email also notified various matters that needed to be handled before leaving the White House.


Jiang, citing sources, reported that some senior White House officials had already vacated their positions. Because of this, lawyers such as Sydney Powell were reportedly able to freely come and go from the White House without much restriction and discuss overturning the election results with President Trump.


However, White House staff soon received another email with contradictory content. The new email stated, "Ignore the previous email. New information will be shared soon."


This situation aligns with CNN's report that President Trump would leave the White House in disarray until his departure.



President Trump is scheduled to leave in the afternoon for his own resort, Mar-a-Lago, located in Florida, to enjoy the Christmas holiday. There are concerns that he will continue to conspire against the election results even there.
