U.S. President Donald Trump's newly appointed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci slammed the media for reporting that his wife has filed for a divorce, while she was nine months pregnant, for his 'naked' political ambitions.
"Family does not need to be drawn into this. Soon we will learn who in the media has class and who doesn't. No further comments on this," Scaramucci said.
"Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more," he added.
