Newly installed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was livid Thursday morning over a report in Politico that indicates he has assets worth as much as $85 million, and took a $5 million salary from SkyBridge Capital, the hedge-fund he founded, in the first half of the year.

Scaramucci tweeted Wednesday night:

"In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept #swamp @Reince45."

The tweet has since been deleted.

On Thursday morning, Scaramucci called into CNN and all but accused White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus of deliberately leaking the report.

"If Reince wants to explain that he's not a leaker, let him do that," Scaramucci said. "Let me tell you something about myself — I am a straight shooter, and I'll go right to the heart of the matter."

However, it turns out the financial disclosure form is a public document, which the Politico reporter who obtained it said she retrieved it through normal channels.
