(CNN) Anthony Scaramucci predicted Saturday that President Donald Trump "would have a nightmare on his hands" if he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

"If you were in a business setting, he clearly would have been fired," Scaramucci said of Sessions. However, the former White House communications director told CNN's Ana Cabrera on "CNN Newsroom" that if he were still working there, he would not help Trump fire Sessions.

"No, because he would have a nightmare on his hands in politics. It's very, very different in politics, Ana, than in business," Scaramucci said. "If Jeff Sessions was the general counsel for the Trump Organization, it's a totally different set of personnel decisions than if Jeff Sessions is his Cabinet member, attorney general, has a ton of friends in the Senate."

The President has directed particular ire towards his attorney general this week, saying in an interview Thursday that Sessions "never took control" of the Justice Department. The attorney general issued a rare statement in response, saying, "I took control of the Department of Justice the day I was sworn in."

Trump continued his barrage against Sessions with a series of tweets on Friday and Saturday.
