Spicer steps down from Trump team

White House press secretary Sean Spicer has abruptly resigned after a financier was brought in to lead the beleaguered White House communications team.

Mr Spicer quit in protest after the hiring of Anthony Scaramucci – denouncing his lack of qualifications.

The shake-up comes as President Trump suffers from dismal approval ratings.

Mr Spicer told Fox News that things were getting a bit cramped.
