Trump Weighs New Role for Press Secretary Sean Spicer

President’s spokesman may move into more senior position
New spokesman may be hired, though discussions aren’t final

The White House is weighing whether to move Press Secretary Sean Spicer into a more senior role focused on strategy and bring in a new spokesman for the president, two people familiar with the discussions said.

Spicer has served as President Donald Trump’s press secretary since the beginning of the administration in January. He’s been the subject of speculation for months that he was on the verge of being fired. The discussions on reorganizing the White House communications operation are still preliminary and no final decision has been made, the people said.

The White House has had preliminary talks with candidates to fill the job of communications director. Mike Dubke, who had been in that job for less than three months, resigned in May.

Since then, Spicer has had to handle both briefings and overall communications strategy and has felt overtaxed. . .
