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.

Yup. Pence is an empty suit. These totally worthless people sit around collecting $200k a year doing nothing.
I want to see thunderbolts and lightning from the Administration!
what a great under appreciated movie. “The Professional”
Good point. Trump strategery.
I hope they do the upcoming Churchill movie right...
Very very frightening..
Very true. Only Mark Levin has the guts to prosecute these jerks.
Now yer talkin’!
Trump should send Steve Bannon over to Priebus’ house for a sit-down, arm twisting session.
“I wish people wouldn’t use “Mooch” for Scaramucci”
How about wiseguy Tony the Scar ??
From the Trumpino family ?
I feel this way about all of them all the time.
In fact, this barely even touches the surface of how I feel.
He could, but I don’t recommend holding one’s breath.
Dang it. I saw “terminated” in the headline and thought that the guy was now sleeping with the fishes. Uh...has anyone actually seen him lately?
The Republican wing of the Democrat Establishment in action again. Priebus was setting up his own pro-establishment operation. Trump needs a loyalist to manage, in detail, the hiring. Scaramucci is obviously it...and Priebus has become chief of staff in name only.
Yup, Gorka ain’t no wall-flower. He reminds me of a more outspoken Steve Bannon, but with an accent.
LOL!! Scaramucci looks like a mafia enforcer!!
Two words: Mark Levin. He was an anti-Trumper but apparently has recently come around.
