White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Thursday she was “not aware” of a report that communications director Anthony Scaramucci wants the FBI to investigate Chief of Staff Reince Priebus as the person who leaked his financial information. After speaking with Scaramucci and President Trump Thursday morning, Conway claimed someone in the White House is trying to bully the new communications official.
“I think the most important part of Anthony’s tweet was when he talked about the FBI and the [Justice Department]. He’s making clear that even though these documents are eventually procurable publicly, that somebody doesn’t want him here and somebody is trying to get in his way and scare him off from working here, which is a huge mistake,” Conway told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” when asked about the report. On Wednesday night, the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza tweeted that “Scaramucci wants the FBI to investigate Reince.”
