Divorce Report Capped Scaramucci’s First Week. There Was No Second Week.
Mr. Scaramucci’s devotion to Mr. Trump is well documented,
and he is thought to be the catalyst for two high-profile departures since his arrival: Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, is resigned over Mr. Scaramucci’s hire, and Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, was ousted days after Mr. Scaramucci called him a “paranoid schizophrenic” during an expletive-laden tirade delivered to a reporter at The New Yorker.

WASHINGTON — Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director whose flair for gale-force showmanship makes his new boss look almost tame, had an explosive first week on the job — so explosive
that the president removed him from the role on Monday.
The week of his son’s birth in New York coincided with his first week in the White House,
and Mr. Scaramucci remained in Washington with the president.
Ms. Stone, who may have been invoking a bit of wishful thinking when it comes to this White
House, added, “Honestly, it’s a private matter, and she’s hoping that it just dies down.”
Ms. Stone would not characterize the nature of the separation.
She added that reports of a casual text message sent from Mr. Scaramucci — “Congratulations,
I’ll pray for our child” — to Ms. Ball after she gave birth were false.
In an interview on Sunday, Jill Stone, who is representing Ms. Ball, confirmed the divorce filing,
but said it was not caused by Mr. Scaramucci’s decision to work for Mr. Trump.
