Priebus after Spicer resignation says ‘all good here’ at White House, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is throwing his support behind President Trump's decision to tap Anthony Scaramucci as the new White House communications director.
Priebus told The Associated Press on Friday that he and Scaramucci, a Wall Street financier and longtime Trump ally, are "very good friends" and that he supports the president's choice "100 percent."
Priebus's comments immediately followed the abrupt resignation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who left his post after Trump named Scaramucci communications director.

The New York Times first broke the news of Spicer's resignation, reporting that he told the president that hiring Scaramucci was a mistake.
Priebus and Spicer worked together closely at the Republican National Committee before joining the Trump administration.
Spicer's resignation stirred speculation that Priebus could be the next senior White House staffer to leave. Priebus dismissed those rumors, telling the AP that it's "all good here" in the White House.
Previous news reports indicated that Priebus was opposed to Scaramucci's nomination.
Scaramucci previously served on Trump's presidential transition team. He has emerged as one of the most ardent defenders of the Trump administration and has been rumored in the past to be up for a White House job.
