New Delhi: Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has made a startling allegation, claiming that Melania Trump is secretly backing Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris. According to Scaramucci, Melania is supporting Harris because "she hates Donald Trump."

In a recent interview on the MediasTouch podcast, Scaramucci said that Melania Trump is even more eager for a Kamala Harris victory than he is. This claim coincides with Melania Trump's notable absence from Donald Trump's political campaign rallies. She has been seen only sporadically at fundraising events and at a rally where an assassination attempt on Trump took place.

"Melania Trump is far more eager than I am to see Kamala Harris take over the White House." When asked to elaborate, he said, "Maybe Melania Trump. That could be the only person I think of. Because she hates (Trump),"Scaramucci said while talking to host Ben Meiselas.

He quipped, "My wife hates Trump as much as Melania does," and humorously added that even the interview host is "nicer to Trump than Melania is."  

'Bitter Man Holds A Grudge'

Donald Trump has vehemently denied Scaramucci's claims about him and his wife Melania. Trump called his former aide a "bitter man who holds a grudge."

Who is Anthony Scaramucci?

Anthony Scaramucci held the position of White House Communications Director for a brief eleven-day stint in 2017, from July 21 to July 31, before being dismissed by Donald Trump. His short tenure resulted in the resignation of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who was unhappy with Scaramucci’s appointment. Soon after taking the role, Scaramucci became entangled in a significant PR debacle, which led to his removal by President Trump. Additionally, his credibility came under scrutiny from John Kelly, the Chief of Staff at that time.
