Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House communications director, two sources tell CNN. New chief of staff, John F. Kelly wanted him removed because,
“he didn’t think he was disciplined and he had burned his credibility.“
CNN is reporting,
Scaramucci is the third White House communications director to leave the post that had been vacant since late May, when Mike Dubke left after about three months on the job. Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, also assumed some of the communications director role before he resigned when Scaramucci was hired July 21.
His departure comes days after Scaramucci unleashed a vulgar tirade against two top White House officials in a conversation with a reporter.
This is a developing story and will be updated. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Trump sees this a “great day at the White House.”
The New Yorker sees it this way…
