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.

Tells me Priebus needs to be fired.
Hah! Go Tony!!
Prosecute.
That will put a stop to it..................
Like last year..................
A great start. Got their attention. Do a few more, they will not be missed.
GOPe moles.
Preibus is a swamp monster.
Hah! Go Tony!!
Yep. Spicer might also be a leaker. In fact I would bet on it. It’s part of his job.
Fire. EVERYONE!
It just goes to show how bad things have gotten when it takes the installation of a man of action just to get control over the President’s own press office.
Bad judgement call by Pribus. Time for him to step down also
Winning!
That’s one! A couple hundred-thousand other political hacks, to go!!
YES!
Should have never been hired! More loyal to GOP Beltway gang than Trump!
I'd also look very closely to Pence's communications staff, though no power over them but I'll bet they are close to D.C. folks still.
Yep
I'm sure he was. Trying to have friends on both sides. I doubt he meant any harm from it, but he should have wised up that his indiscretions were fodder for fake news, and cut it out.
I agree with that regarding Pence. Another thing, have people forgotten that Pence was supposed to act as liason or enforcer with Congress to get things done.
I don’t see much success there either.
