CBS reported on Tuesday evening that press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah were planning to depart the White House.
While both of them declined to comment on the record before CBS published the article, Sanders tweeted that she is "honored to work for @POTUS."
Other lower-level positions in the communications department remain unfilled at this time.
Over the last several months, numerous staff have left, whether voluntarily or forced out, including homeland security adviser Tom Bossert, Trump personal aide John McEntee, National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton and others.
A link to the article is included here.

.@PressSec: I think CBS got a little ahead of their skis, particularly since they put out a story about my thinking without ever talking to me. It seems it would be a little problematic. In terms of personnel announcements, I don't have any to make. https://t.co/mZ4B11O1uj pic.twitter.com/vwvrVxYuut

Does @CBSNews know something I don’t about my plans and my future? I was at my daughter’s year-end Kindergarten event and they ran a story about my “plans to leave the WH” without even talking to me. I love my job and am honored to work for @POTUS
