White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said Wednesday night that he plans to contact the FBI and Justice Department regarding what he said was a leak of his financial disclosure.
"In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting [FBI] and the [Justice Department]," Scaramucci wrote on Twitter.
In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept #swamp @Reince45 — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) July 27, 2017
In the now-deleted tweet, Scaramucci tagged Reince Priebus, which some took as a suggestion that the new communications director was accusing the White House chief of staff of leaking.
Scaramucci later put out a second tweet that said this interpretation was "wrong" and that he wanted to put leakers on notice that all senior administration officials were helping to end illegal leaks.
Scaramucci was reacting to a Politico report based on a financial disclosure form filed by Scaramucci with the Office of Government Ethics that shows that the former Wall Street financier earned $4.9 million from his stake in Skybridge Capital, the investment firm he founded in 2005, between Jan. 1, 2016 and the end of June 2017.
The Politico reporter who wrote the story tweeted on Thursday that there was no leak. The form was publicly available.
Wow, sorry I slept through all the fun! FWIW, Mr @Scaramucci's Form 278e is publicly available from ExIm. Just ask. https://t.co/Io2ed5IEuj — Lorraine (@Woellert) July 27, 2017
The disclosure also shows that Scaramucci earned more than $5 million in salary during the same period of time.

He deleted his tweet when it was pointed out to him that the disclosure was not actually leaked - it was processed as part of his job at Ex-Im (not his new job in the WH), and was made publicly available earlier this week, as required by law.
If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.
This was a devious Machiavellian plot..that would have worked had there actually been a leak
It would weaken RP even if he didnt do it.
If Trump doesn’t want Priebus or Sessions or whomever around, just fire them. I find all of this public back stabbing and shaming and finger pointing childish and unseemly.
seriously! can we get f*cking serious yet? this is so frustrating to watch.
LOLOL...I love Mooch...if you watch him he talks just like Our President including hand and arm movements...he’s the real thing, and what he says he means...
Our President just got a helping hand in fighting the ‘sewer’ of rats in D.C.!!!
Lawyers saying this morning mooch admitted to breaking DOJ rules by talking to sessions and his FBI buddies
This guy doesnt get yet this is DC not a business. .and that can get you a subpoena
He replied: 'They aren’t in process yet,' meaning someone had leaked them to Politico before they were supposed to go into the public domain.
There WAS a leak, see #9.
I find all of this public back stabbing and shaming and finger pointing childish and unseemly.

In Washington there’s a lot more said than done. The flood of rhetoric, insinuations, and posturing are all part of daily life in the Swamp. Quiet and decisive action is not.
Wrong order. He made the processing comment. NYT responded. He didnt have an answer
He clearly didnt understand how It works. Being a Harvard grad doesnt mean he is right
He blew this because he forgot..was never told..did not know..or whatever that it
Is available after 30 days.
Egg on face. Its why he deleted the tweet last night.
He has since admitted there is a mechanism to get the docs
‘If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.’
Exactly.
Do or do not,there is no try.
When you say that you are going to call the FBI sometime, all you are doing is tipping your hand or posturing for the press.
I’ll give him another couple months to show that he is not a slick hustler and phony.
TWB
You should also know if there has been a crime committed before you start bringing the FBI into the equation.
Looks like he shoots first and asks questions later. Now he has egg on his face.
