WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s communications director, Mike Dubke, has resigned his post from the White House after just three months on the job, a White House official said.
The change comes as the president seeks to reset his administration amid expanding probes into Mr. Trump’s associates ties to Russia.
Mr. Dubke hasn’t been involved in that probe, and unlike many top officials in the White House, wasn’t part of the campaign. He joined the administration about a month after Mr. Trump’s inauguration.
“The reasons for my departure are personal,” Mr. Dubke wrote in an email to friends Tuesday. “But it has been my great honor to serve President Trump and this administration.”
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Mr. Dubke’s dismissal was being considered by Mr. Trump. Axios first reported Tuesday that Mr. Dubke’s resignation was accepted.
