When Emily Maitlis of BBC Newsnight landed her first (and possibly as it transpired, her last) interview with the then-incoming Head of Communications for the White House, Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci, she could have had little idea beyond her briefing notes what to expect. What viewers actually saw and heard wasn’t just a bad omen of things to come, but an exercise in that peculiar blend of undisguised contempt and ferocious masculine-driven competition that has become a decisive marker of the violent underpinnings of Donald Trump and his administration. Women beware. Scaramucci rose to the occasion of having a well-trained...

REVEALED: Anthony Scaramucci 'shopped for a $9 million Manhattan co-op apartment with Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle' before his wife filed for divorce (and he was turned down). Anthony Scaramucci was reportedly turned down for a $9 million Manhattan home that he shopped for with Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle long before his wife filed for divorce. The former White House communications director was turned down by the co-op board at the Beresford apartment home on Central Park West. According to Showbiz 411, he was shopping for the home with Guilfoyle, who lives in the building in a $3.4 million...

Firing the Mooch. BIG MISTAKE. I do not care what anyone says. He was brilliant at the press conferences. And as Diamond and Silk pointed out, for the 10-11 days he was on, Russia was not the narrative and the swamp was only starting to get drained. The moment he was fired and General Kelly came on board: more leaks than with Priebus in charge!!! And swamp creatures getting a free pass galore. The next few weeks is going to be a dark period for the White House until President Trump gets his bearings and trusts his instincts again rather...

Well, it looks like recently fired White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci had big plans before his tenure flamed out at 11 days. Plans that included giving the everyman a chance to play golf with the president. In a memo Scaramucci shared with CNN Wednesday night and was first published on Medium by right-wing provocateur Mike Cernovich, the former comms director told the White House press staff that they should take advantage of President Trump’s golfing habit as a way to show his fun side. -a group dedicated to serving as a PR department for POTUS and his family members....

Ivanka and Melania Trump might've been the final nail in the coffin for Anthony Scaramucci. The first lady and presidential adviser were reportedly disgusted and offended by the former White House communications director's language that was featured in the New Yorker. During the New Yorker interview, Scaramucci called former Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus a "paranoid schizophrenic." And when comparing himself to Steve Bannon, the former Wall Street financier said he was nothing like Bannon because, quote, "I'm not trying to suck my own ****." Two sources close to President Trump told NBC News that Ivanka and Melania were...

Multiple reports have surfaced saying former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was only hired to get rid of former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Scaramucci was removed from his position Monday, after 10 days on the job. The dismissal came alongside reports that White House senior advisor Jared Kushner and President Trump’s daughter Ivanka influenced the president to bring in Scaramucci, primarily to take out Priebus. “Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, and Jared Kushner, her husband, had pushed the president to hire Mr. Scaramucci, seeing him as a way to force out Mr. Priebus, the former national...

snip Jared and Ivanka brought in Scaramucci as an instrument of destruction against Reince Priebus, according to multiple sources. He was used as a tool to end Priebus' tenure in the corner office. A third administration source said Jared and Ivanka have been fully supportive of the general and will follow his lead. They were irritated by Scaramucci's comments to The New Yorker, but from their perspective he served his primary purpose: destroying Reince. Bannon never stopped agitating to get rid of Mooch. A source close to Bannon says he has a good relationship with Kelly, although we can't confirm...

Anthony Scaramucci 'removed by Donald Trump as communications director after request from John Kelly' [The Telegraph] Barney Henderson ,The Telegraph•July 31, 2017

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has offered his resignation, ABC News has learned. The news comes only days after Scaramucci's hiring earlier this month. Since then, the White House has faced the resignations of press secretary Sean Spicer and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff. The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

07.31.17 Anthony Scaramucci RESIGNS as White House Communications Director Comes less than a week after hiring JULY 31, 2017 Washington, DC (ABC/WBEN) Anthony Scaramucci resigns as White House Communications Director. This comes the same day John Kelly was sworn in as Chief of Staff. Sources tell ABC Scaramucci resigned, asking to be redeployed at the Export Import Bank as chief strategy officer. Scaramucci had not been on the job less than a week. It may be most memorable for an expletive-laden conversation with a New Yorker reporter that disparaged other members of the Trump team.

Arthur Schwartz, a friend of Anthony Scaramucci who has been referred to as his publicist, warned Reince Priebus that he would “start dropping oppo” on the former White House chief of staff, adding “Mistress much?” in a Sunday morning tweet. The tweet was in response to a HuffPost story, which Schwartz presumably believes was sourced from Reince, that detailed Priebus’s concerns with Scaramucci’s business dealings. Schwartz added that he would be happy to start “trashing [Priebus] in the press” again. The tweets were quickly noticed by CNN’s Jake Tapper, who retweeted them noting they came from Scaramucci’s publicist. Schwartz has...
