Former Fox News president Bill Shine, who resigned last year amid sexual harassment scandals at the cable news channel, is in talks to become the next White House communications director, three sources familiar with the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to NBC News. The White House has been without a communications director for several months since the departure of Hope Hicks in late March.
