Top White House departures

Below are the top White House officials who resigned, or were fired, dismissed or reassigned. President Trump also fired James Comey as director of the FBI and Sally Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration who was serving as his acting attorney general.

Stephen Bannon, chief strategist, out after less than seven months.

Trump told aides he had decided to remove Bannon, a right-wing nationalist who has clashed with other senior White House advisers and members of Trump’s family. But a person close to Bannon said he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7.

Mike Dubke, communications director, out after three months.

Dubke told colleagues that the reasons for his resignation were “personal.”

Michael Flynn, national security adviser, out after three weeks.

Trump asked Flynn for his resignation more than two weeks after he was told that Flynn had lied to the vice president and was vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.

K.T. McFarland, deputy national security adviser, out after four months.

McFarland, who was brought to the White House by Flynn, was named ambassador to Singapore in mid-May.

Reince Priebus, chief of staff, out after six months.

Priebus was pushed out, tendering his resignation after Trump told Priebus he wanted to make a change and offered the job to John Kelly.

Anthony Scaramucci, communications director, out after one week.

He was fired by Kelly days after a vulgarity-laced telephone call with a New Yorker reporter was made public.

Sean Spicer, press secretary, communications director, out after six months.

Spicer resigned, telling Trump that he disagreed with Trump’s hiring of Scaramucci as communications director.

Katie Walsh, deputy chief of staff, out after two months.

Walsh was forced out by Jared Kushner and other West Wing officials. She joined the pro-Trump outside group America First Policies.
