Quick Summary

This opinion piece argues that President Trump should use the next six weeks to purge his administration of potential corruption before Democrats launch investigations. The author notes that while some officials like Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and Kimberly Guilfoyle have already been sidelined or sacked for self-enriching behavior, more "house-cleaning" is necessary to counter political attacks. The text suggests that new chief of staff Stephen Miller is well-positioned to act as a sheriff to organize the White House before January 3.
