Trump claims 'mental wreck' Scaramucci abused White House staff in extraordinary attack on former aide
Donald Trump has launched an extraordinary attack against Anthony Scaramucci, accusing his former White House press secretary of "abusing staff".
"Anthony Scaramucci is a highly unstable 'nut job' who was with other candidates in the primary who got shellaced, and then unfortunately wheedled his way into my campaign," Mr Trump tweeted on Monday morning.
"I barely knew him until his 11 days of gross incompetence-made a fool of himself, bad on TV. Abused staff, got fired" the US president added without providing evidence.
"Wrote a very nice book about me just recently. Now the book is a lie? Said his wife was driving him crazy, 'something big' was happening with her. Getting divorced. He was a mental wreck. We didn’t want him around. Now Fake News puts him on like he was my buddy!"
