Jason Miller, who was named as White House communications director by President-elect Donald J. Trump two days ago, has informed Mr. Trump that he will not take the job, according to a statement from Mr. Miller.
In the statement, Mr. Miller said he wanted to spend more time with his family. His wife is expecting their second child in January, he said.
“It’s clear they need to be my top priority right now, and this is not the time to start a new job as demanding as White House communications director,” Mr. Miller wrote.
A veteran of several Republican campaigns, Mr. Miller was an avid supporter of Mr. Trump, appearing regularly on television on his behalf throughout the campaign. He had been a principal spokesman during the transition period.
In the statement, Mr. Miller said that Sean Spicer, who was recently named press secretary, would serve as communications director, as well.

That was fast!
What gives?
Spending more time with family is almost always an euphemism for something else.
My guess is that he was threatened with permanent unemployment in his field, if he took the job.
Family reasons usually means an ultimatum from the wife. Who knows what gives. Unfortunately Spicer is gong to do double duty now.
Someone more qualified will step in to take his place.
He was in several previous administrations.
Which means, the globalists have him, lock stock and barrel.
His previous contacts are going to fight Trump. I say that’s aok, and they need to lose control of the GOP so it can move to rebuild our country, and bring back jobs to America.
But he has the old-style GOP telling him not to take it.
They won’t give up their privilege easily.
Be ready, Trump.
Sounds as if he wanted to be press secretary. Oh well.
What skeleton is rattling in his closet?
I’m sorry to see him go. He is good at what he does.
My guess is he’s leaving because Spicer got the job he was coveting. But it’s probably best to take him at his word. His family needs a lot of attention right now.
Something show up or afraid of something showing up on his record? Would his position have to go before congress?
KellyAnne comment about playing golf or having an affair relevant?
Twitter is speculating it has to do with an affair with another Trump communications advisor AJ Delgado. They were caught together at a Vegas Strip Club in October. AJ posted a bunch of cryptic tweets today and has now deleted her account.
Miller was good but never struck me as great. This is a chance to get somebody great in that spot.
Not sure I believe it
Now, if it turns up in "The Weekly World News..."
Yeah. Get your family set then come back.
I think she’s pregnant. On twitter they are saying she implied in a tweet that he was the daddy.
With 16 hour days, there is no family.
Facial hair.
There it is! hmm.
She is pregnant with his baby and his wife is due in January.
Happy family in order.
Smells bad, no doubt.
