Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who resigned after President Donald Trump hired Anthony Scaramucci, won’t return to the administration job even though Scaramucci has departed, a White House official said.
Spicer, 45, is sticking to his plan to leave at the end of August, according to the official, who asked for anonymity to discuss personnel matters. He had resigned July 21, the same day that Scaramucci debuted as White House communications director.
