BREAKING: Scaramucci Out as Trump's Communications Director

Well, that didn't last very long.

A little more than a week after former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned his post, President Trump has now removed Anthony Scaramucci from his job as Communications Director at the behest of White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

According to the New York Times:

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president, not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

It was not clear whether Mr. Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or will leave altogether.

Scaramucci's removal comes just a few days after a highly volatile interview Scaramucci did with The New Yorker, during which he verbally ran down former Chief of Staff Reince Preibus and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.
