Report: Trump Considering Dropping Sean Spicer | ||
President Trump is weighing a major administration shake-up that would include firing White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, according to a New York Times report.
He also has become frustrated with Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman.
After a tumultuous week stemming from Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey and a series of mixed explanations for its timing and reasoning, Trump "is considering a broad shakeup" of his team that would include dropping Spicer:
According to the report, Trump has put forth Fox News commentator Kimberly Guilfoyle as a possible replacement for Spicer.
Spicer, his deputy Sarah Huckabee Sanders and even Vice President Mike Pence put forth the story this week that Trump acted on the recommendation of the Justice Department to dismiss Comey. However, Trump then told NBC News anchor Lester Holt that he was going fire Comey "regardless" of any recommendation.

FBI chief sacking: 'Four to be interviewed' to replace Comey | ||
The first interviews to find a replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey are set to take place.
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is among four people who will meet Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein. But about 11 people in all are being considered, US media report. President Trump has faced a backlash for sacking Mr Comey, who had been investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election. White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters the president would fill the job "as soon as he finds a candidate that fits the qualities that he feels are necessary". One of those being interviewed is Republican Senator John Cornyn, the second highest-ranking member of the Senate and a former Texas Attorney General. Andrew McCabe was the FBI's deputy director until the abrupt departure of his boss. He appeared to contradict the White House this week when he described the inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the US election as "a highly significant investigation". He also cast doubt on White House claims that Mr Comey had lost the confidence of his staff. Read more:The other two candidates named in the US press are New York Appeals Court Judge Michael Garcia and senior lawyer Alice Fisher. Mr Garcia is a former New York prosecutor and Ms Fisher was an assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's criminal division. She currently works at a law firm. Meanwhile, President Trump is facing growing questions about whether he secretly recorded his conversations with Mr Comey. In a tweet, Mr Trump appeared to issue a thinly veiled threat to Mr Comey, saying he had "better hope there are no tapes" of their conversations. The BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington says Mr Trump was referring to a private White House dinner in January during which the president claims Mr Comey assured him he was not being investigated over alleged links to Russia. Mr Trump seemed to be suggesting that he would release recordings if Mr Comey gave his own version of events, she adds. In an interview with Fox News Mr Trump said that he didn't want to discuss the matter and that all he wanted was for Mr Comey to be honest. President Trump has previously told NBC News that Mr Comey requested the one-on-one dinner, but the former FBI director reportedly maintains it was the president who invited him. Mr Comey had said he was "uneasy" before the dinner, according to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. On Friday, the White House denied reports that President Trump had also asked Mr Comey to pledge loyalty to him. According to a report in the New York Times, Mr Comey said he would offer the president honesty, but not loyalty. Mr Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer has rejected the report. Echoes of WatergateMr Trump's behaviour has provoked fresh comparisons between his administration and that of disgraced President Richard Nixon, who famously recorded conversations, speeding his downfall during the Watergate scandal.Senior Democrats on the House judiciary and oversight committees wrote to the White House on Friday demanding copies of any recordings. John Conyers and Elijah Cummings' letter noted "it is a crime to intimidate or threaten any potential witness with the intent to influence, delay or prevent their official testimony". Read more: | ||
