White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was removed from his position on Monday, just five days after he started the job, according to reports.

“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,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
