‘I choose to end this arrangement’: Economics advisor Carl Icahn quits Donald Trump administration
?I choose to end this arrangement?: Economics advisor Carl Icahn quits Donald Trump administrationIcahn had served as a special advisor to President Donald Trump on regulatory reform issues.“Nevertheless, I chose to end this arrangement (with your blessing) because I did not want partisan bickering about my role to in any way cloud your administration,” Icahn said in a public letter.
“Carl Icahn has always styled himself as the consummate outsider, but with his friend Donald Trump in the White House Icahn now has an insider’s role,” Forbes explained. “He is advising the Trump Administration on issues involving regulatory overhaul, helping to select the heads of key regulatory agencies like the Securities & Exchange Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency.”
read this in-depth investigative report, which may better explain why icahn actually decided to step down from his white house position - minutes before this story was released:

curiously, the white house now insists that icahn was never in a role as advisor to the president
the very role from which icahn just resigned
somebody needs to square that circle
Mueller!
