Divorce Report Capped Scaramucci’s First Week. There Was No Second Week.<br />Mr. Scaramucci’s devotion to Mr. Trump is well documented,<br />and he is thought to be the catalyst for two high-profile departures since his arrival: Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, is resigned over Mr. Scaramucci’s hire, and Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, was ousted days after Mr. Scaramucci called him a “paranoid schizophrenic” during an expletive-laden tirade delivered to a reporter at The New Yorker.<br />By KATIE ROGERSJULY 31, 2017<br />WASHINGTON — Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director whose flair for gale-force showmanship makes his new boss look almost tame, had an explosive first week on the job — so explosive<br />that the president removed him from the role on Monday.<br />The week of his son’s birth in New York coincided with his first week in the White House,<br />and Mr. Scaramucci remained in Washington with the president.<br />Ms. Stone, who may have been invoking a bit of wishful thinking when it comes to this White<br />House, added, “Honestly, it’s a private matter, and she’s hoping that it just dies down.”<br />Ms. Stone would not characterize the nature of the separation.<br />She added that reports of a casual text message sent from Mr. Scaramucci — “Congratulations,<br />I’ll pray for our child” — to Ms. Ball after she gave birth were false.<br />In an interview on Sunday, Jill Stone, who is representing Ms. Ball, confirmed the divorce filing,<br />but said it was not caused by Mr. Scaramucci’s decision to work for Mr. Trump.
