President Donald Trump has seen staff turnover in excess of 37 per cent over the calendar year ending June 30.

An AP analysis of White House filings shows that 141 staffers who worked for the president at that point last year are gone. The figures don't include those who arrived and departed during the year or those who departed before June 30, 2017.
