Shockwaves as another top aide announces exit from Trump admin

Another top Trump administration official announced plans to leave the White House, Axios reported on Tuesday.

Emily Underwood, top deputy to Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has announced a departure for Trust Ventures, a venture capital firm, where she will be a partner.

Underwood has been with the Trump administration throughout President Donald Trump's second term, Axios reported. She has focused on policy, including implementing a strategy across the federal government, on nuclear energy research and development.

Caleb Orr, a top adviser to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, will replace Underwood. Orr has worked closely with Rubio and has been considered a "key architect of the State Department's critical minerals, energy and commercial diplomacy policies," according to Axios.

Underwood's departure set off fireworks on social media.

"It's a sinking ship," Democratic strategist Mike Nellis posted on X about the news.

"Rat flees sinking ship," Jason Tufele Carl Johnson, a former staffer for Rep. Raul Grijalva in Arizona, posted on X.
