White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer Quits Trump Administration

Trump can’t stop attacking his own administration. Yet another person hired by Trump himself quits or is removed from office by Trump. Is Jeff Sessions next?

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned on Friday after President Donald Trump hired financier Anthony Scaramucci as his communications director, a White House official said.

The White House communications staff were meeting in Spicer’s office Friday morning after news of his departure was reported.

Scaramucci, 53, a campaign fundraiser for Trump and regular adviser during the presidential transition, has been mentioned for multiple jobs in the administration, most recently as ambassador to the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. He’s also been considered as head of the White House Office of Public Engagement.

He agreed in January to sell his approximately 45 percent stake in SkyBridge Capital. The buyer group included a subsidiary of HNA Group, the Chinese conglomerate, as well as a little-known company called RON Transatlantic.

The New York Times first reported Spicer’s resignation, which it said was in protest over Scaramucci’s hiring.
