Scaramucci blasts “leak” on firing of staffer that he personally revealed to news outlet

Conflicting reports emerged Tuesday over whether a White House press aide had been fired, with the staffer himself saying that no one had informed him he had lost his position.

“No one has told me anything, and the entire premise is false,” senior assistant press secretary Michael Short told CNN.

Short was responding to a Politico report that the new White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, plans to fire him.

Scaramucci told the news outlet that Short would be the first of many fires if he’s not able to stop leaks coming from the communications and press team.

But speaking to reporters later on the White House grounds, Scaramucci refused to say whether he fired Short, calling it "an unfair thing for me to comment on."

"This is the problem with the leaking," he said. "This is actually a terrible thing. Let’s say I’m firing Michael Short today. The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic."
