Trump's communications director will be latest to leave the White House

Some other high-profile resignations have come at Trump's behest.

— -- The resignation of the White House communications director is the latest staff change in the first four months of the Trump administration.

Mike Dubke resigned on May 18 but offered to stay until the end of the president's first foreign trip, which wrapped up this past weekend.

The president made it clear that Spicer's and Dubke’s jobs were on the line, the sources said.

Trump was “frustrated across the board” with his communications team, especially over anonymous leaks to the media, the sources said.

Latest to leave

"People in administrations tend to leave on their own volition as well. They tend to find that working 18-hour days in different environments are maybe what's not best suited for them," Conway said.

Conway said Dubke "has expressed his desire to leave the White House and made very clear that he would see through the president's international trip."

Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh left the White House in March and, according to two sources with direct knowledge, Walsh will be consulting for an outside group that aims to help with Trump’s agenda.

It was announced May 19 that former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland, who previously worked under Flynn, was leaving her role because Trump was nominating her as U.S. ambassador to Singapore.

Spicer takes the podium

One familiar face who was not very visible during the foreign trip was Spicer.

The press secretary along with others from the administration accompanied the president on the trip to the Middle East and Europe, but he was not among those who gave any on-camera briefings during the week-long trip.

And in the days leading up to the trip, Spicer spoke to members of the press during off-camera gaggles rather than in more formal briefings.

Spicer is slated to be back on camera today, however, in what will be his first briefing from the White House press room in 15 days.
