Suspected leaker Michael Short has been terminated from the White House communications office, Breitbart News can confirm.
Short, an ally of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and now former Press Secretary Sean Spicer—who resigned last week—was terminated on Tuesday by new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Short originally worked for the Trump campaign—placed on it by Priebus—and quit the campaign, sources tell Breitbart News, after the Access Hollywood tape came out. Politico confirmed this report, noting that Short walked out in the middle of the campaign leaving his computer behind only to show back up in January at the behest of the Republican National Committee (RNC) allies in the White House.
“He was scorned by many of his colleagues for quitting the Trump campaign, only to rejoin as a White House staffer because of Priebus,”
Multiple White House sources confirm to Breitbart News that Short was a leaker, and worked closely with now former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh—another RNC wing official who was terminated earlier this year for her own leaking.
Short has not responded to a request for comment on the questions about his leaking. But he did tell CNN he does not believe he has been fired, even though multiple White House sources confirm he has been.
Scaramucci has confirmed multiple times in interviews over the weekend that he plans to root out leakers throughout the White House.
Now, on Tuesday, he has again confirmed that he will terminate everyone if necessary to stop the leaks.

I hope he is a Mafia enforcer. You’d think, having been in construction and real estate in NYC his entire life, DJT would have made some useful connections.
I know what you mean. Big Mike is what I used to call “it”.
Any suggestions for a nice nickname for our new guy?
Short...
Is that his last name or reference to his penis size.
Maybe “short” will apply as an adjective in a few months without a job in relation to his ability to pay the mortgage.
All above invective assumes he was guilty of leaking, I “take it back” if he got swept up wrongly.
...and the gay guys are terrible gossips...their mouths runneth over! (Pun intended.)
they never fooled me...they hate Trumps guts, but only went along after it was obvious he had the nomination...Republicans right now are more of a threat than anyone.
I get that begging snailmail from GOP, too. And the robo-calls, too. They’re dead, and they don’t know enough to roll over!
Tucci?
Same here. Every single time I look at that man I feel like I am looking into the eyes of a traitor to Trump. Something snake like about him.
He makes me think of PeeWee Herman.
But if he’s firing the leaker, the leaker wouldn’t have leaked his own firing to Politico, would he have?
There must be another leaker.
>> I saw another name that I really like for the position floated recently: Jim DeMint <<
Wasn’t he terminated by the Heritage Foundation due to poor managment skills?
That’s a hoot!
Yeah, but what are the alternatives?
I mean, I gotta think Da Mooch is a helluva lot better than Da Scar.
Also, Fat Tony for sure don't apply, and I doubt he'd wanna be called Little Tony.
So you got any better idea?
Not a chance. But maybe Scary Tony would work?
I don’t believe that was the real reason. I think the board battled and saw him as too political and possibly too conservative.
Oh, and I just heard Roger Stone report the three names Trump is considering to replace Priebus:
1) David Durban—very solid choice.
2) Gen. John Kelly—not such a good idea.
3) Dina Habib Powell—a God-damned, awful, globalist, Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin close friend, terrible, terrible idea!
>>Tucci?
***********
I like it. Can we spell it Toochie? : )
Scoochi? Or various spellings of it?
” Mooch” is a derogatory term for Scaramucci, since many of us call Michelle Oshitface, “The Mooch” I like Scare’m better.
Michelle O is “The Mooch.”
Scare’m is better.
