Report: "The Mooch" is Downgraded, at Least

The man barely installed as President Trump's Communications Director has been moved out of the job, according to a report in the New York Times.

Anthony Scaramucci served in the post for mere days, during which time he dominated news headlines with his colorful language and swagger. During his micro-tenure "The Mooch" also unloaded a crass screed against colleagues in the Trump administration to a reporter for the New Yorker.

The New York Times reports,

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president, not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request... Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

No word yet, according to the Times, about next steps for Scaramucci.

It was not clear whether Mr. Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or will leave altogether.
