Scaramucci sacked as Trump media chief

London: White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been fired after fewer than 10 days in the post, reports BBC.

The former Wall Street financier had drawn criticism after calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his own colleagues.

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, and spokesman, Sean Spicer, both left their posts after Scaramucci's appointment.

Chief of staff Gen John Kelly, sworn in on Monday, sacked Scaramucci.  The president was also unhappy with Scaramucci's performance, the White House confirmed.

Trump's spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders, said the president thought Scaramucci's comments to the reporter "were inappropriate for a person in that position".

He has not been moved to another White House role, she added.
