Anthony Scaramucci, who it was recently reported would take a top post in Donald Trump's White House, described his role to reporters Friday morning in Trump Tower.
“It’s pretty much as described,” the SkyBridge Capital founder said. “It’ll be in the Office of Public Liaison, really trying to get the President’s message out, not only to the intergovernmental agencies, but also the commercial message to both American businesses and the international business community."
The Washington Post reported Thursday that, according to two unnamed transition officials, Scaramucci's role would be akin to Jarret’s. Trump's transition team has not formally announced a position for Scaramucci.
Scaramucci told reporters the comparison to Jarrett was probably an “overstatement."
Scaramucci memorably argued on CNN in December, in defense of Trump's hedging on environmental policy, that the scientific consensus on climate change could eventually be overturned, just like what was "overwhelming science that the Earth was flat."
