(CNN) Several of President Donald Trump's outside advisers have told him over the past week he requires neither a chief of staff nor a communications director, at least in the traditional definition of those jobs, according to a person familiar with the conversations. Trump has absorbed the advice, but offered little indication whether he's interested in taking it, the person said. He's been warned by other confidants that it's impossible to run the West Wing without a chief of staff. Trump has expressed frustration at the management structure in the West Wing, believing it doesn't suit the freewheeling style he employed as a businessman. After a year in office, he's more willing to change long-established West Wing structures, people familiar with his thinking say.
