We have had differences,” Scaramucci went on, before turning to a Biblical comparison that left little doubt of the acrimony. “I don’t know if this is reparable or not,” Scaramucci said of his relationship with Priebus on CNN. It’s led to new speculation about Priebus’ future, which has been a lingering subtext of Trump’s administration since he entered the White House in January.
