(20 Nov 2017) Anthony Scaramucci, the short-lived White House communications chief who was forced out after just 11 days on the job, said in an interview Monday that he remains in closely touch with the White House.
He told The Associated Press that although he has not spoken to Donald Trump in over a month, he talks to members of the president's inner circle "regularly" and sees himself working with Trump again in the future.
"I have very good relationships there still, and you have to remember we were a team 18 months, and so we all had different roles and so, I'm still playing my role, I'm an advocate for the president, media surrogate when I need to be," Scaramucci said.
Scaramucci is in Israel this week as a guest of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, a US-based group that works with professionals, politicians and community leaders to stimulate business opportunities and and influence public policy.
Scaramucci, a former Wall Street financier and successful entrepreneur, said he is scouting out Israel's vibrant high-tech sector for possible future opportunities.
While he said he is focused primarily on his business dealings, he wants to help Trump on his re-election campaign.
"At some point I'll probably be more involved from the outside, but more in a re-election capability than from inside the administration," he said.
Scaramucci, a member of Trump's campaign and transition teams, was appointed White House communications director in July, but was fired just days into the job after he gave an expletive-laced interview to The New Yorker and made derogatory statements about several members of the Trump administration, including the chief of staff at the time, Reince Priebus, and then chief strategist Steve Bannon.
