This is AP News Minute.

Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House Communications Director after just 11 days on the job. His ouster comes just hours after President Trump¹'s new Chief of Staff John Kelly was sworn into office. In a statement, the White House says Scaramucci left to give Kelly a clean slate².

President Donald Trump swore Kelly in as Chief of Staff earlier on Monday. He predicted Kelly would do a spectacular job and insisted there's no chaos³ in the White House. Kelly replaces Reince Priebus whom Trump ousted⁴ last week.

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted of a criminal charge Monday for refusing to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. The conviction marks the final rebuke⁵ for a politician who once held strong popularity.

Children in Poland joined together to build giant sand sculptures. Their creation is part of an annual festival. Professional sculptors⁶ also showed off their works of art, some taking as long as two weeks to create.
