Anthony Scaramucci Calls Into CNN To Accuse Reince Priebus Of Being The White House Leaker [VIDEO]

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci called into CNN this morning to essentially accuse Reince Priebus of being the leaker. The Hill reports:

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Thursday said if chief of staff Reince Priebus wants to explain he isn’t a leaker, he can do that.

During an interview on CNN’s “New Day,” Scaramucci said he doesn’t like “the activity that’s going on in the White House.” “I don’t like what they’re doing to my friends. I don’t like what they’re doing to the president of the United States or their fellow colleagues in the West Wing,” he said.

Scaramucci said he has had differences with Priebus. “He’s the chief of staff,” he said. “He’s responsible for understanding and recovering and helping me do that inside the White House, which is why I put that tweet out last night.”
