Scaramucci Removed As White House Communications Director: New York Times

President Donald Trump has removed Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director, the New York Times reported Monday.

The decision came just days after Scaramucci started in the job and subsequently gave an expletive-laced interview to the New Yorker magazine.
