He launched a strongly worded attack on Mr. Priebus, calling him a "paranoid schizophrenic."
He also directed profanity-laced insults at Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.
He was fired by President Donald Trump on July 31, 2017, upon the recommendation of the new White House Chief of Staff, General John F. Kelly.
