Former President Donald Trump's White House communications director complimented special counsel Jack Smith Monday after the federal prosecutor managed to get the Supreme Court to agree to expedite the process of determining Trump's immunity.
Anthony Scaramucci — who lasted as Trump's communications director for only 10 days — was talking with CNN's Kaitlan Collins.
"I'm curious what you think is, kind of, going through Donald Trump's head right now," Collins asked Scaramucci.
"As Jack Smith is here surprising everyone by going past the appeals court, going straight to the Supreme Court, and basically trying to cut off Trump's known strategy of delaying his legal troubles."
Scaramucci replied, "I think it's a brilliant move by Jack. But if you really want to get inside the president's mind, he's very, very worried.
“You've got 91 counts, four big indictments. It feels like he is the Al Capone of our current political system, meaning people think he's untouchable, just like they did with Al Capone or somebody like John Gotti, but they actually are not untouchable.
“ So, he's very, very worried. I do know that he thinks because he appointed … three of those justices, but he has six that are conservatives, I do think that he thinks he's got a good shot there. He thinks that that court is politicized and will tip to his favor.
“And obviously Jack Smith doesn't think that. I certainly don't think that. And I think it's a great strategy, Kaitlan. We'll have to see what happens, but I think the president is very worried."
