A White House deputy spokesman who had been tasked with announcing the departure of officials in President Donald Trump's administration has himself become the latest to move on.
Raj Shah is leaving and will become a partner at Ballard Media Group, the communications arm of US lobbying firm Ballard Partners, which lists clients including the Gulf emirate of Qatar, Turkey's Halkbank and the Republic of Mali, the firm announced.
Trump's administration has been marked by a hemorrhage of cabinet members and top advisors, including Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, chief of staff John Kelly and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. The list is long. Shah will lead the new Ballard Media Group with James Rubin, who was State Department spokesman during the presidency of Bill Clinton.
