White House press secretary Sean Spicer resigned Friday[1] after former Trump campaign fundraiser Anthony Scaramucci accepted the position as White House communications director[2].
A White House official and top GOP adviser said President Trump asked Spicer to stay on, but he resigned.
The resignation caps off one of the most tumultuous tenures for a White House press secretary, one that saw Spicer repeatedly undermined in his role as the White House's public-facing spokesman by the President's own public statements and tweets.
