Anthony Scaramucci is out as President Trump’s communications director, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
The White House statement read: “Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director. Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best."
It's the latest high-profile departure from the Trump White House.
Chief of Staff Reince Priebus resigned at the end of last week, replaced by John Kelly, who was sworn in this morning. A White House official said Kelly wanted Scaramucci removed from his new role because he did not think he was disciplined and had burned his credibility.
Scaramucci, a colorful and controversial figure, was brought on July 21 during the latest in a long list of White House shake-ups that have rocked the presidency with a sense of chaos.
