Scaramucci Ousted on John Kelly's First Day as Chief of Staff

Mooch, we hardly knew ye.

President Donald Trump is removing Anthony Scaramucci from his role as White House communications director, just 10 days after Scaramucci took the job.

The New York Times, which broke the story, reported that the move comes at the request of new chief of staff John Kelly after Scaramucci boasted about reporting directly to the president.

“Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge,” the Times reported.

“Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” the White House said in a statement Monday afternoon. “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.”
