MOOCH GETS HIS MAN
(But loses his woman)
White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci arrives in Long Island Friday for President Trump’s speech. His archenemy, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, resigned but it wasn’t a happy homecoming as news broke that his wife, Deidre Ball, wants a divorce.
IT’S BEEN a rough week for the Mooch.
The wife of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has reportedly filed for divorce, having grown fed up with his desire to be a part of President Trump’s inner circle.
Scaramucci appeared to respond on Twitter late Friday to the news of his imploding marriage.
“Leave civilians out of this,” he tweeted. “I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more.”
He also started removing pictures of his wife, Deidre Ball, from his social media.
Ball, 38, could not be reached for comment.
A former executive at Scaramucci’s investment firm, Sky-Bridge Capital, Ball is Scaramucci’s second wife. His first marriage ended in divorce in 2011.
Scaramucci, 53, and Ball started dating that same year and apparently married in 2014. They have a home in Manhasset, L.I.
When contacted Friday, Scaramucci’s lawyer from his first divorce wouldn’t say whether he had been retained again.
“I have no authority to comment on anything,” the lawyer, Leonard Sperber, told the Daily News.
A lot of money could be at stake if Scaramucci is heading for divorce.
His assets are worth as much as $85 million, according to a financial disclosure form he filed when he briefly worked for the Export-Import Bank.
Scaramucci became the White House communications director just over a week ago.
He’s since told Politico he planned to fire a press aide, and then complained about news of the firing being “leaked” by the website. He also repeatedly goaded Trump’s now-former chief of staff Reince Priebus on Twitter, and accused him of committing a “felony” by leaking Scaramucci’s financial information, which was a public record.
He then trashed Priebus and top adviser Steve Bannon in a pottymouthed tirade to a New Yorker reporter.
