In a now deleted tweet, incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci sent out a confusing statement Wednesday night, addressing information reported earlier by Politico as a "leak." The article reported on Scaramucci's financial disclosures. According to Politico, those details had been filed with the Office of Government Ethics, so it's unclear what â€" if anything â€" was leaked information.
Scaramucci's tweet further confused as it ended with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus' Twi tter handle. Just before those characters, he noted that he intended to contact the FBI and the Justice Department. Some speculated that Scaramucci was implying that Priebus was behind the leak.
But in a new tweet roughly two hours after the original, he tweeted what appeared to be a clarification, correcting a headline of news site Axios. "Wrong! Tweet was public notice to leakers that all Sr Adm officials are helping to end illegal leaks," he tweeted, ending it â€" once again â€" with Priebus' handle.
Five days ago, Scaramucci, responding to a question about reported tensions between him and the chief of staff, said he and Priebus "are a little bit like brothers, where we rough each other up a little, which is totally normal for brothers."
