On January 23, he told the New York magazine: "the thing I've learned about these guys in Washington is that they do not have the money, so what happens when they do not have fucking money is they write about what seat they are in and what the title is.A damn congressman acts like that.They are a fucking bastard ".
Fox Business reported on January 31, 2017, that "Scaramucci's pending appointment underscores some of the tension within the White House Trump... because his various aides and counselors continue to seek his attention and to defend and extend their strength". According to Politico on January 31, 2017, with the appointment of Scaramucci pending approval by the US Government Ethics Office (OGE), Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus called Scaramucci "to inform him that he should be attractive for consideration". They reported that Priebus opposed the Scaramucci appointment because of Scaramucci's stake in Skybridge Capital. White House senior officials questioned the significance of internal feuds in delaying the appointment of Scaramucci, citing the months required to end its SkyBridge sales. Reuters reported on February 1 that Scaramucci would not get the director's role. In a February 2017 magazine article, Priebus was quoted as saying he was harassing the recruitment "incorrectly".
On March 6, 2017, the White House announced the appointment of the founder and former Ideagen CEO, George Sifakis as director of the Public Liaison Office, not Scaramucci.

CNN retraction and apology
On June 26, 2017, three network investigation reporters - Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris - resigned from CNN after the network pulled back the story of connecting Scaramucci with a $ 10 billion Russian investment fund. CNN issued an apology to Scaramucci (who accepted the apology), with a network saying the online story (which appeared on the CNN website and not aired on television) did not meet the editorial standards. Scaramucci says the true story is not true; CNN did not say the story was wrong, but said it was "not strong enough" to be published.
White House Communication Director
On July 21, 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Communication Director Scaramucci White House, to rule on July 25. The White House announcement on Scaramucci said he would "report directly to the President" rather than to the White House chief of staff, as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has. On the day when Scaramucci's appointment was announced, Spicer resigned. The New York Times reported that he had done so after advising Trump that he "strongly disagreed" with the appointment of Scaramucci. Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, also has a "strong objection" to his recruitment.
In a July 26, 2017 phone call to Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker, Scaramucci said he would fire everyone at the White House communications staff if Lizza did not reveal leaked sources of information about who attended a dinner with Trump. Scaramucci also accused Priebus as a "leaker" who had committed "crime", named Priebus "paranoid schizophrenia, paranoid", and said that Priebus "will soon resign". Priebus did not respond to Lizza's request to comment. Scaramucci also said, "I am not Steve Bannon, I am not trying to suck my own penis" in clear reference to his lack of interest in media attention. The next day, Scaramucci tweeted, "I sometimes use colorful language, I will refrain in this arena but do not give up on the passionate struggle for Donald Trump's agenda."
During an interview and in a tweet shortly thereafter, Scaramucci said that she had contacted or would contact the FBI and the Justice Department, asking them to investigate Priebus for allegedly "leaking" her financial disclosure form to the reporter's Politico . Scaramucci then remove the tweet. Lizza said the form was obtained from publicly available data at the US Export-Import Bank.
On July 28, Priebus's resignation as chief of staff was announced; Priebus said he had resigned on July 27. Also on July 28, Trump announced that he had appointed retired general John F. Kelly as his new chief of staff.
On July 31, 2017, Trump fired Scaramucci from his role as communications director on the recommendation of Kelly, who wanted him removed because he did not think Scaramucci was disciplined and believed Scaramucci had burned his credibility. As one of his first acts after being sworn in as Chief of Staff, Kelly reportedly invited Scaramucci to his office and told him that he was being released. An official White House statement indicates that Scaramucci "will leave" his post "to give John Kelly a clean Chief of Staff and ability to build his own team." The six-day work period of Scaramucci, starting from the unofficial start date of July 25 until his departure on July 31, is the shortest in history for that position, breaking the previous 11-day record held by Jack Koehler in the Reagan administration.

The tweet was immediately removed, and Scaramucci later wrote that "If anyone is offended by this action, you have a sincere apology and personal commitment that it will never happen again", and promised to donate $ 25,000 to Simon Wiesenthal Center.

On November 21, 2017, a lawyer representing Scaramucci sent a stop-and-stop letter to the Daily, alleging that the op-ed contained factual inaccuracies that sought to defame him. The letter demands that Caballero and The Daily release revoke and apologize for allegedly "defamatory" statements, threatening the lawsuit if the letter does not meet five working days. The Daily chose to keep the full text of the editorial on its website while publicly publishing a stop and block letter on the morning of November 27, 2017.
