• Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has been undoing some of the constraints his predecessor, John Kelly, had placed on people's access to President Donald Trump, according to a New York Times report.
• Mulvaney reportedly told the staffers he did not intend to mimic Kelly's leadership style. The four-star general had attempted to curb the freewheeling access people had to Trump when he served in the role.
• With Mulvaney at the helm, staff members were reportedly welcomed to meetings in the Oval Office, and received lectures on different management approaches from previous presidential administrations.
• Mulvaney was also establishing warmer ties with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, The Times said, citing what it called their "special status" as Trump's family.

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has reportedly been undoing some of the constraints that his predecessor, John Kelly, had placed on people's access to President Donald Trump.

Mulvaney, who took the reins after Kelly was fired in mid-December, has taken a new leadership approach with White House staffers, according to a New York Times report published Wednesday.
