After just ten days in the position, Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House communications director.
The White House's decision was announced on Monday.
"Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House communications director. Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best," the White House said in a written statement.
According to CNN, a White House official has said Kelly wanted Scaramucci removed from his new role as the communications director, because he did not think he was disciplined and had burned his credibility.
The announcement comes after Scaramucci slammed two White House officials in an interview with The New Yorker. In the expletive-laden interview, Scaramucci took aim at strategist and Trump advisor Steve Bannon, as well as former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who resigned last week.
Scaramucci is the third White House communications director to leave the post, which had been vacant since late May. He was hired shortly after former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned from his position on July 21.
