A long-simmering feud between two of President Trumps top advisers reached a boiling point Thursday, when White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci publicly insinuated that chief of staff Reince Priebus is a leaker.
But the episode that triggered Scaramuccis outburst a media report on his financial disclosure forms was not the result of a leak.
That didnt stop Trumps newly minted communications chief from calling into CNN to challenge Priebus to deny that he is a leaker.
When I put out a tweet and I put Reince's name in the tweet, they're all making the assumption that it's him, because journalists know who the leakers are, Scaramucci said. If Reince wants to explain he's not a leaker, let him do that.
He continued: But let me tell you about myself. I'm a straight shooter and I'll go right to the heart of the matter.
