Former U.S. Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli, a long-time friend of the American president, is warning of a significant departure of officials from the Trump administration. Recently dismissed from his role at the Department of State, Zampolli claims officials are “fleeing” the administration ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. He conveyed these concerns in an interview with the Italian newspaper *La Repubblica*, as reported by *The Independent*. Zampolli suggests a perception of inevitable failure is driving this “exodus”. This raises questions about the stability and future direction of the U.S. government. The departures could potentially hinder the administration's ability to function effectively during a crucial period before the elections. Zampolli’s dismissal adds another layer of complexity to the narrative.
