Sean Spicer resigns as White House press secretary after six months

Sean Spicer has resigned as White House press secretary, bringing to an end a tumultuous six months as the public face of Donald Trump’s administration.

Sean Spicer announced his resignation on Friday morning following the president’s decision to hire Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director.

Sean Spicer, the White House’s embattled press secretary, announced his resignation after telling President Donald Trump that he strongly disagreed with the selection of Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director, The New York Times reported.

Trump offered Scaramucci the top communications post at 10 a.m. on Friday and, according to the Times sources, Spicer told the president that he believed the decision was a significant misstep.
