Scaramucci To Hewitt: Trump Wants Jeff Sessions Gone

From the right wing site Hot Air:

Give the new comms director at the White House this much credit — he’s certainly bringing clarity to Donald Trump’s thoughts and plans. Hugh Hewitt interviewed Anthony Scaramucci from the White House this morning as part of an exclusive Salem Radio Network event, and asked whether Trump wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions gone. “Why not just fire Jeff Sessions?” he asked, bringing up to Scaramucci Trump’s continuing Twitter fusillade on his own AG, right up to the moment the show started.

Scaramucci seemed taken aback by the question, and stalled a bit by discussing Trump’s “certain style” in dealing with people, eventually saying that Trump and Sessions “need to work this thing out.” Hugh replies, “It’s clear the president wants him gone, isn’t it, Anthony?”

“I have an enormous amount of respect for the Attorney General,” Scaramucci replies, “but I do know the president pretty well. And if there’s this level of tension in the relationship, that that’s public, then you’re probably right. But I don’t want to speak for the president on that, because he’s a cabinet official, and I sort of think that has to be between the President of the United States and the cabinet official.”
