Spokesman to President Donald Trump of the United States of America, Sean Spicer has thrown in the towel in apparent protect over the appointment of Anthony Scaramucci as his new communications director.
The resignation of Spicer, today, Friday, came on the heels of mounting pressure on President Trump from a special investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections.
According to sources, Trump asked Spicer not to resign, but he stood his ground, saying, however, that he believed the appointment of a communication director was a major mistake.
The new director of communications, Scaramucci, who founded the global investment firm, SkyBridge Capital, is a Fox News Channel contributor.
He is known for his spirited on-air defense of President Trump, but he also enjoys good relationships with journalists from an array of outlets, including those the President has labeled “fake news.” [myad]
