The spokesman for US President Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, one of the most important voices in the administration, resigned Friday after only six months at the White House.
Sean Spicer, 45, has resigned following the hiring of a new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, by Donald Trump to replace a man who resigned in May after just three months .
The spokesman has been in the hot seat for weeks, victim of his boss's criticism of the disorder in the communication of the executive, to which the president himself is accused of contributing with his tweets and interviews. Mr. Spicer had taken to the field and rarely appeared at the White House briefing, often replaced by his number two, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The resignation comes at the end of a hectic week for the Republican leader, openly annoyed by the prosecution's prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between Russia and his campaign last year.
In addition to the communications team's upset, Donald Trump has redesigned his team of personal lawyers, who represent his interests against Robert Mueller. One of them resigned. According to several newspapers, the 70-year-old billionaire seeks to contain the investigation of Russian interference, which targets some of his relatives, and undermine the authority of Robert Mueller, appointed in May to ensure the independence of the investigations.
Mueller attacked
From the Oval Office, the septuagenarian again recounted that he had received Mr. Mueller as an FBI leadership candidate in May, the day before his appointment as special prosecutor by Mr. Rosenstein. According to him, the former director was eager to take over the reins of the federal police.
"There are many other conflicts that I did not talk about, but I will do it one day," added Dump Trump. As for the senior investigators recruited by the prosecutor, the president's Republican allies have been hammering for weeks that many have in the past made donations to Democratic candidates; This information is publicly available in the United States.
"People need to know what motivates people politically," Kellyanne Conway, a White House counselor and former campaign director, told Fox News on Friday. "These are not small sums. They obviously wanted the other side to win. "
Finally, the president has begun to ask his legal team under what theoretical conditions he could pardon relatives, relatives, or even himself, according to the Washington Post. The alleged attacks by the White House against the Special Prosecutor have aroused the anger of the democratic elected officials who co-direct separate investigations conducted by congressional commissions.
Mr. Mueller's mandate, set out in a letter, is to investigate "any link and / or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with President Donald Trump's campaign", but also "any subject" arising "directly "Of these investigations.
For Democratic MP Adam Schiff, there is no doubt that Mr. Mueller has the power to investigate Donald Trump's finances.
