TRUMP PEOPLE/MIKE DUBKE: “Michael Dubke, the White House communications director, announced on Tuesday [5-30-17] that he is resigning, as President Trump weighs a broader shake-up of his staff in the face of multiple investigations.
Mr. Dubke, a veteran Republican strategist who served three months in the role, said that he offered his resignation on May 18 and agreed to stay on until Mr. Trump completed his first overseas trip, which ended over the weekend. Other staff changes could come by the end of the week, White House officials said.
‘The reasons for my departure are personal, but it has been my great honor to serve President Trump and this administration,’ Mr. Dubke said in a message to friends. ‘It has also been my distinct pleasure to work side-by-side, day-by-day with the staff of the communications and press departments. This White House is filled with some of the finest and hardest working men and women in the American government.’ “
