Scaramucci repeatedly told reporters that he was willing to “fire everybody” in the White House communications office to stop leaks to the press from administration staffers.
During his tenure he also called New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza and went on an expletive-laden rant about then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Trump advisor Steve Bannon.

Sean Spicer resigned as White House press secretary on July 21, minutes after Trump hired Scaramucci to be the administration’s new top communications official.

His tenure was among the shortest ever for a press secretary.
“It’s been an honor & a privilege to serve @POTUS @realDonaldTrump & this amazing country. I will continue my service through August,” Spicer tweeted.
As of July 31, Spicer has still been at the White House.

This White House is filled with some of the finest and hardest working men and women in the American government.”

Flynn resigned as the administration’s national security advisor on February 13 after he misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn fielded accusations that he had discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador Kislyak as a private citizen in December. Pence publicly defended the retired general, and reports said Flynn lied to the vice president about his conversations with the ambassador.
Sean Spicer said at the time that Trump asked for Flynn’s resignation because trust between the two had “eroded.”

In a letter sent to department lawyers before she was fired, Yates wrote, “[F]or as long as I am the Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order,” detailing that she is “not convinced” that defending the order met with her responsibilities as head of the Justice Department “to always seek justice and stand for what is right.”
