John McEntee, President Donald Trump's body man who was fired in 2018 amid an investigation into allegations of financial crimes, will lead the Presidential Personnel Office, multiple news outlets reported Thursday.

When he was the White House chief of staff, John Kelly forced McEntee out over issues with the young aide's security clearance. The Wall Street Journal reported that the issues were related to online gambling problems and mishandling of his taxes.

McEntee was also the focus of a financial-crimes investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, CNN reported.

McEntee, 29, who joined Trump's small team early in his presidential campaign, was escorted out of the White House in March 2018 without being allowed to collect his belongings, including his jacket, The Journal reported.

"It's not going to be great for morale," a White House official told The Journal about McEntee's firing.

The New York Times first reported on Thursday that another Trump aide, Hope Hicks, the White House communications director who left in March 2018, would also return. Hicks will serve as a counselor to the president and report to Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and top White House adviser.
