Emanuel to Leave White House Job

White House senior advisor Rahm Emanuel is leaving his job to return to his hometown of Chicago, spokesman Joe Lockhart said. Emanuel, one of the few aides who goes back to President Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 1991, will leave his office on Oct. 19, Lockhart said. Emanuel told the Washington Post he plans to teach part time at Northwestern University and pursue an investment banking career. Lockhart said there is no word yet on a replacement for Emanuel, who had taken the senior advisor role after the resignation two years ago of George Stephanopoulos.
