Omarosa Manigault, the former "Apprentice" star and adviser to President Donald Trump, is leaving the Trump administration, the White House announced on Wednesday.
The director of communications for the White House's Office of Public Liaison, Manigault's role has recently come under scrutiny in the media, with reports suggesting her position was vague and undefined.
The administration has been rocked by a series of high-profile exits — including Sean Spicer as press secretary and James Comey as FBI director — since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Here are the top-level people who've either been fired or resigned from the administration:

Omarosa Manigault
Omarosa Manigault, the director of communications for the White House's Office of Public Liaison, will have her official last day on January 20.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Wednesday that Manigault was leaving to "pursue other opportunities."
Trump fired Manigault twice on her two seasons appearing on his television show, "The Apprentice."
Tom Price
The secretary of health and human services had elicited bipartisan condemnation over the cost of his air travel — he had cost taxpayers more than $1 million between his use of private planes for domestic travel and military jets for recent trips to Africa, Europe, and Asia, Politico reported.
Sebastian Gorka
A White House official confirmed Gorka's departure from the Trump administration on August 25.
The former Breitbart News staffer and ally of chief strategist Steve Bannon served as a deputy assistant to President Donald Trump.
In his departing letter, first published on a pro-Trump website, Gorka told Trump he could better serve the president's "America First" agenda from the outside.
Gorka was aligned with a once prominent nationalist arm of the Trump administration, occupied most prominently by Bannon and Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser.
Bannon's departure a week earlier was seen as a significant blow to other nationalist, far-right figures in the White House, and Gorka implied as much in his letter, saying it was clear to him that "forces that do not support the MAGA promise are — for now — ascendant within the White House."
