The are elements in Washington and inside the White House who are working against the president and trying to undermine his agenda and eject him from power, according to Anthony Scaramucci, Donald Trump’s former communications director.

Speaking for the first time since he was fired after only 10 days in the job, Mr Scaramucci said the president was the target of the city’s political establishment.

“The president is not a representative of the political establishment class,” he told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Sunday.
