Incoming White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci gave a lengthy interview to CNN's Chris Cuomo on Thursday in which he angrily lashed out at whoever leaked his financial disclosure form, despite the fact that the form was never meant to be a secret.
During the interview, Scaramucci fumed about the ways that seemingly everything that occurs inside the White House -- from his dinner with Sean Hannity Wednesday night to his financial disclosure form -- leaks out almost instantly to the media.
"What I'm upset about is the process -- and the junk pool, the dirty pool -- in terms of the way this stuff is being done," Scaramucci said. "I can't have a couple of friends up from Fox & Friends, and Sean Hannity, who's one of my closest friends, to dinner with the president and his first lady without it being leaked in seven minutes."
Scaramucci then said that, when it comes to leaks, "the fish stinks from the head down." Despite this, however, he said that President Donald Trump was not responsible for any of the leaks that occur from within the White House.
"I can tell you two fish that don't stink," he told Cuomo. "And that's me and the president."
Scaramucci then went on to discuss his relationship with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, whom he had initially seemed to blame for the leaking of his financial disclosure form. Scaramucci insisted that he still saw Priebus as a "brother," but noted that "some brothers are rough on each other."
"Some brothers are like Cain and Abel," Scaramucci said, referring to the story in the Bible about a man who murdered his own brother out of jealousy. "I don't know if this is reparable or not, that's up to the president."
Scaramucci later in the interview called out members of the White House who purportedly felt that it was their job to "save America from this president."
"That is not their job," he said. "Their job is to inject this president into America."
