The White House revolving door: Who's gone?

White House economic adviser Gary Cohn is the latest in a long line of senior officials who have quit, been fired or eased out by the White House.

Here is a run-down of what they did, and why they left, starting with the most recent.

The former president of the Goldman Sachs bank was appointed as head of the National Economic Council as Mr Trump took office, so becoming the president's top economic adviser.

In his time at the White House, he helped push through sweeping reforms on taxes, one of the most significant policy achievements of the administration.

But the two were not reported to be close, and rumours of Mr Cohn's departure continued to swirl.
