Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is "in no hurry" to name official replacements for several Cabinet-level positions in his administration. And my actings are doing really great," Trump told reporters at the White House before departing to a White House staff retreat at Camp David. The President said that both acting Interior Secretary David Bernhardt , who was former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's second-in-command at the department, and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney are "doing great." Currently, there is also an acting secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan , the former deputy to former Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who resigned last month over differences with Trump's foreign policy views. Trump added that having "acting" officials gives him "more flexibility."
