Here's a look back at the very short tenure of the White House's latest communications director, Anthony Scaramucci. “Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” said a statement attributed to the White House press secretary, though it was unclear whether it was from Spicer or the incoming press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
