Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci went after President Donald Trump's inner circle over the weekend, unleashing a scathing critique of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on social media.
In a Saturday post on X, Scaramucci compared Wiles to a nanny supervising unruly children, dubbing her "Mrs. Doubtfire," which he claims has become her unofficial nickname within the White House walls. But the real meat of his complaint centered on what he described as Wiles's campaign against Elon Musk.
"I knew it came from Susie Wiles because she hates Elon. And now we got the confirmation in the Vanity Fair article. Remember, she denied it at the time, but now we have a recording of her saying that he's a prolific user of ketamine. By the way, I'm not here to defend Elon Musk, but you know, he sent out a drug test. Okay. It said, Hey, I'm negative on all this stuff. I don't know what she's talking about," Scaramucci said in the post.
Scaramucci didn't stop there. He turned his attention to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Vice President J.D. Vance, claiming Wiles has privately questioned their qualifications and motivations.
"What I found revelatory about the whole thing is she's telling Pam Bondi, not up for the job, mishandled the Epstein thing. The J.D. Vance guy, he switched over to Trump because he wanted to win the Senate. He actually hates Trump. In addition to being a conspiracy theorist, he's vacuous on policies and principles," he shared.
"She said his conversion to Trump's side was sort of political. Exactly. And she goes through these people with a hot butter knife," he added.
The remarks paint a picture of an administration riddled with internal tensions and competing loyalties. If Scaramucci's allegations hold any water, they suggest Wiles wields considerable influence in shaping perceptions of key players in Trump's orbit.
Whether these accusations affect Musk's business dealings or create friction between Trump's cabinet members remains to be seen. But one thing's clear: Scaramucci isn't holding back when it comes to exposing what he sees as dysfunction at the highest levels of government.
