White House communications director Michael Dubke resigned early Tuesday morning.
Kellyanne Conway, White House counselor, said Dubke handed in his resignation before US President Donald Trump left for his international trip earlier this month.
In an interview on Fox News on Tuesday, Conway said Dubke “made very clear that he would see through the president’s international trip, and come to work every day and work hard even through that trip because there was much to do here back at the White House.”
Dubke’s departure could be the beginning of a wider shake-up that is rumored to soon hit the Trump Administration. Frustration amongst communications team members reportedly peaked after they were kept in the dark regarding the firing of former FBI director James Comey.
Trump has been rumored to consider replacing some of his staff with producers from the Fox News television channel.
