The Mooch calls for Trump’s arrest – Newsweek

Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scaramucci has called for Trump’s arrest for violating the “terms of his bail agreement” following Trump’s comments about Liz Cheney.

At an event in Glendale, Arizona, on October 31, Trump was asked by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about his opinion of Harris surrogate Cheney, to which Trump replied: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s leave her out there with the gun with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay, let’s see how she feels about the guns being pointed at her face.’

Scaramucci, Trump’s 11-day press secretary, posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to these comments: “Trump should be taken into custody. He is a convicted felon and has just violated the terms of his bail agreement by threatening someone’s death. to live. He must be sent away.”

Newsweek has emailed the Trump campaign for comment.

It is unclear which bail condition Scaramucci is referring to in this message. Newsweek emailed him for comment. The former Trump associate, who has a degree from Harvard Law School, campaigned against Trump during the election and declared him unfit for office.

At one point he claimed that Trump had lost his will to fight. And he has consistently supported Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid to become president after succeeding Joe Biden. He even highlighted a joke about Donald Trump’s “small hands.”

After being fired by Trump, he supported his re-election campaign until August 2019, and has since reneged on his support for the former president. Scaramucci founded the Right Side PAC in June 2020 with other Republicans in an effort to encourage voters in swing states to support other candidates.

He also criticized Trump’s behavior at Arlington Cemetery in another X post and condemned Trump’s alleged altercation with a staff member at the cemetery during an interview on CNN.

Scaramucci worked in investment banking prior to his career in politics, and his work as White House communications director is one of the shortest tenures in history, according to NBC, tied with a member of former President Ronald Reagan’s staff.

Trump is living under bail restrictions imposed by the state of Georgia due to the investigation into his alleged criminal attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump denies any wrongdoing in the case.

Scaramucci’s statement in his tweet that Trump is a criminal refers to the trial in New York where he was tried and found guilty on 34 counts following his hush money trial.

The presidential candidate is awaiting sentencing in New York. Although his first sentencing is scheduled for September 18, he will now not be sentenced until after the election. Trump still maintains his innocence in this case and may appeal.
