Anthony Scaramucci has been removed as White House communications director, less than two weeks after he was hired by Donald Trump.
During his brief time working for the US President, Mr Scaramucci turned the White House upside down.
His hiring led to the departures of both Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus, Mr Trump's former press secretary and Chief of Staff, respectively.
John Kelly, who was sworn in as White House Chief of Staff on Monday, reportedly asked the President to remove Mr Scaramucci as communications director, according to The New York Times.
In a statement announcing Mr Scaramucci would be leaving his role, the White House said he “felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.”
Without specifically referencing what had happened, Mr Trump appeared to be happy with events, tweeting that it was a "great day at the White House".

Donald Trump could be guilty of obstruction of justice over son's statement on Russia meeting, says former White House ethics lawyer

Donald Trump could be guilty of obstruction of justice and should resign if reports alleging he dictated his son’s misleading statement on a meeting with a Russian lawyer are found to be true, George W Bush’s former chief ethics lawyer has said.
“We have repeated instances of obstruction of justice, this being yet one more,” Richard Painter told Brian Williams on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour.
“And I have to say, this does look more and more like a cover-up, but it really is one of the most psychologically deranged and incompetent cover-ups in political history.”
Mr Painter’s comments come after the Washington Post reported on Monday that the US President crafted a statement, later shown to be misleading, in which his son Donald Trump Jr said a meeting he had with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 was not related to his father’s presidential campaign.
Mr Trump Jr released a string of emails in July, showing that he agreed last year to meet a woman he was told was a Russian Government lawyer who might have damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The emails made clear that the information would be handed to the Trump team “as part of Moscow’s official support for his father”.
The newspaper reported that Trump advisers agreed that Mr Trump Jr should issue a truthful account of exchange, so it “couldn’t be repudiated later if the full details emerged”.
However, it says the President changed the plan during a flight home from Germany on 8 July and “personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr said he and the Russian lawyer had ‘primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children’,” citing unnamed sources.
