New York financier Anthony Scaramucci will the Trump administration as communications director_ by [Aric Jenkins](https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/) ## Aric Jenkins Jul 29, 2017 7:27 PM UTC If there's one thing that Donald Trump values, it's loyalty.

Often, his brand of loyalty can be a one-way street. by [Aric Jenkins](https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/) ## Aric Jenkins Jul 29, 2017 7:27 PM UTC [Newly-appointed](http://time.com/4868645/anthony-scaramucci-white-house-sean-spicer-what-to-know/) White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci issued a warning to the media on Saturday morning: leave my family alone. “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,” he posted on Twitter. A day earlier, Scaramucci tweeted: “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.” > [](https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/891047344636129280) > [](https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/891279890221342720) Scaramucci is just over a week into his position as communications director. He quickly drew controversy on Thursday with his decision to call _New Yorker_ reporter Ryan Lizza and question him about the source of leaks that have slipped out of the White House. Scaramucci didn’t request the call to be off the record or on background, allowing Lizza to publish an [explosive account of their conversation](http://time.com/4877548/anthony-scaramucci-interview-reince-priebus/) that included a number of vulgar insults by Scaramucci targeting White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. “I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter,” Scaramucci tweeted later Thursday. “It won’t happen again.” ## Transcript [00:39] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4879675/anthony-scaramucci-family-media/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4879675/anthony-scaramucci-family-media/"},"headline":"Anthony Scaramucci Warns the Media to Leave His Family Alone","datePublished":"2017-07-29T19:27:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:26:09.639Z","description":"\"Soon we will learn who in the media has class and who doesn't\"","url":"https://time.com/4879675/anthony-scaramucci-family-media/","keywords":["White House","onetime","anthony scaramucci"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf44b3cc1b93f117e/6988d784bc6cfc34dc3e26cd/anthony-scaramucci-interview-reince-priebus-expletives.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Aric Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf44b3cc1b93f117e/6988d784bc6cfc34dc3e26cd/anthony-scaramucci-interview-reince-priebus-expletives.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"anthony-scaramucci-interview-reince-priebus-expletives","caption":"White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci speaks with the media outside the White House in Washington, DC on July 25, 2017.","creditText":"Tasos Katopodist—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4879675/anthony-scaramucci-family-media/","name":"Anthony Scaramucci Warns the Media to Leave His Family Alone"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Donald Trump Views Loyalty","description":"If there's one thing that Donald Trump values, it's loyalty.
