Six West Wing officials told The New York Times that the president is considering the most far-reaching shake-up of his first term after being dissatisfied with several top aides, especially Spicer.



Trump has discussed Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle as a possible press secretary, according to the Times, which noted that the president has also spent several hours with Spicer this week praising his TV "ratings" during briefings.

Reports of a possible staff shake-up come amid growing criticism of the administration over its shifting accounts this week on Trump's reasoning to fire FBI Director James Comey.

While senior White House officials and Vice President Pence maintained Trump fired Comey on the Justice Department's recommendation, Trump later busted that account, saying he made the decision alone and would have fired Comey regardless of the recommendation.
