Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scaramucci has called for Trump to be arrested 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 thoughts on Harris surrogate Cheney, to which Trump replied: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the rifle standing there.with nine barrels shooting at her.

Scaramucci, Trump’s press secretary for 11 days, sent to X (formerly Twitter) in response to those comments, saying: “Trump should be taken into custody. He is a convicted felon and just violated the terms of his bail agreement by threatening someone’s life. He needs to be sent away.”

Newsweek has emailed the Trump campaign for comment.

It is unclear what bail condition Scaramucci is referring to in this post. Newsweek have emailed him for comment. The former Trump staffer, who has a Harvard Law School degree, campaigned against Trump during the election, branding 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 for the presidency after she stepped in for Joe Biden. He even featured 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 disavowed his support for the former president. Scaramucci founded the Right Side PAC with other Republicans in June 2020 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 expressed his condemnation of Trump’s alleged altercation with a cemetery employee during an interview on CNN.

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

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

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

The presidential candidate awaits sentencing in New York. Despite the fact that his first sentence is scheduled for September 18, he will now not face punishment until after the election. Trump still maintains his innocence in this case and may yet appeal.
