Article snippet: President Trump will reportedly name Wall Street financier and long-time supporter Anthony Scaramucci as his new White House communications director, according to a new report. Axios reports that two sources familiar with the situation say that Trump will appoint the Republican donor to the post left vacant by Mike Dubke. Axios also reported that White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus wasn’t made aware of the appointment until after the arrangements were finalized. He was also previously linked to the ambassador position to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) but ultimately was not named to that post. He currently serves as a senior Vice President at the U.S. Export-Import Bank. The position of communications director has been vacant since late May when Dubke resigned. He had only been on the job for three months when he submitted his resignation. "I want to thank Mike Dubke for his service to President Trump and this administration,” White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said in a statement at the time. “We appreciate Mike and are very grateful for his service to President Trump and our country.” The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2017 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
