At a 10 a.m. meeting this morning, President Trump offered Scaramucci the job as White House Communications Director.
Spicer quit after that meeting, according to the NYT's Glenn Thrush.

Most of Axios’ stuff is leftist garbage. However, I believe Jonathan Swan has a solid connection inside the White House. If you check you will find that every article from Axios that I’ve posted has been from Jonathan Swan.
