Trump ousts Anthony Scaramucci as communications director by Allan Smith on Jul 31, 2017, 2:43 PM Advertisement
 President Donald Trump removed Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director Monday after he served in the role for just 10 days, The New York Times and other outlets reported. The decision came at the urging of new White House chief of staff John Kelly, the Times reported. The Times said it was unclear whether Scaramucci is leaving the White House altogether or will remain employed in another capacity. The decision came on Kelly's first day serving in official capacity as chief of staff. Just days earlier, Scaramucci made waves when he unloaded on then-chief of staff Reince Priebus to a New Yorker reporter. That Scaramucci tirade was written up by The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza on Thursday. On Friday, Priebus resigned, with Trump announcing Kelly as Priebus' replacement. In Scaramucci's week-plus stint as communications director, Priebus, White House press secretary Sean Spicer, and press aide Michael Short all resigned. This story is being updated.
