White House communications director Bill Shine resigns to join Donald Trump's reelection campaign

Salon  

White House communications director Bill Shine abruptly resigned from his position and will join President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, press secretary Sarah Sanders announced in a statement Friday. Shine, who was ousted from his job as president of Fox News in May 2017 after being named in multiple lawsuits for his handling of the network's myriad sexual harassment scandals, joined the White House in July 2018 as the administration's sixth deputy chief of staff for communications. Shine, who started his two-decade-long career at Fox News as a producer for the show "Hannity & Colmes," was reportedly tapped to the White House last summer by Trump to help polish the president's public image and steer his communications strategy. Although Shine was recruited to the White House to manage the president's communications, lawsuits suggesting that he enabled alleged sexual harassment by the network's late chairman and chief executive, Roger Ailes, fueled speculation that his hiring will put a spotlight on Trump's own problems with women.
