President Donald Trump is planning to make several key staffing changes as he prepares to deal with newly empowered Democrats and with the looming outcome of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"I have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about," Trump said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."
Trump did not rule out the possibility that his chief of staff John Kelly might be leaving. "At some point he's going to want to move on."
"It's going to be up to him," he said. "I really believe he's going to do what's right. I would not get involved."
"You have people coming at you so hard that if you don't fight back in a somewhat vigorous way, you're not going to win, and we have to win. This country has to win."
