| Another one out. White House Deputy Communications Director Bill Shine is out. The former Fox executive leaves while a scandal is brewing around him. |
This comes on the heels of a controversial New Yorker piece saying that Trump and Fox News work hand and hand. The notion that Shine is still being paid by News Corp and 21st Century Fox despite the ouster is a scandal in its own right.
Shine who was then co-president of Fox News was forced out after allegations of intimidation and a cover up of dirty deeds by former CEO, Roger Ailes.
Shine was facing an ethics investigation and possible lawsuits from former Fox News guests, anchors and producers.
Shine announced that he will continue to help in a way. He will serve as a senior advisor to the Trump 2020 reelection campaign.
"Serving [President] Trump and this country has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life. To be a small part of all this President has done for the American people has truly been an honor. I'm looking foward to working on President Trump's reelection campaign and spending more time with my family."
Trump offered praise for the scandalous asshole.
"Bill Shine has done an outstanding job working for me and the Administration. We will miss him in the White House, but look forward to working together on the 2020 Presidential Campaign, where he will be totally involved. Thank you to Bill and his wonderful family," said Trump.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the news via her social media account.
This is a huge issue within the Trump team.
Sean "Softball" Hannity, a good friend of Shine was instrumental in getting him on the Trump team.
Shine was the executive producer of Softball & Colmes and later Softball Hannity, the primetime leader in partisan bullshit.
