Trump’s Newly-Named WH Comms Director, Jason Miller, Backs Out of Job

Just two days ago Jason Miller, who had served as Donald Trump’s senior communications adviser since July, was named as the White House communications director for the new administration. But today he issued a statement that he will not be joining the WH staff after all, citing family reasons.

“After spending this past week with my family, the most amount of time I have been able to spend with them since March 2015, it is clear they need to be my top priority right now and this is not the right time to start a new job as demanding as White House communications director,” Miller said. “My wife and I are also excited about the arrival of our second daughter in January, and I need to put them in front of my career.”

He added:

“My wife and I are also excited about the arrival of our second daughter in January, and I need to put them in front of my career. I look forward to continuing to support the President-elect from outside after my work on the Transition concludes.”
