WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times local):

8:40 a.m.

White House communications director Michael Dubke has confirmed he is leaving the White House and says his last day on the job has not been determined.

In a statement, Dubke says: “It has been my great honor to serve President Trump and this administration. It has also been my distinct pleasure to work side-by-side, day-by-day with the staff of the communications and press departments.”

A Republican consultant, Dubke joined the White House team in February after campaign aide Jason Miller – Trump’s original choice for communications director – withdrew from consideration. Dubke founded Crossroads Media, a GOP firm that specializes in political advertising.
