Trump insider says president made $1.4 billion and is looting the office

Scaramucci said Trump made $1.4 billion from crypto. He said Trump is using his position to enrich his family.

Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's former press secretary, has become one of the president's harshest critics. Speaking to ABC's 7.30 program, Scaramucci said Trump is using the presidency to make money.

Scaramucci expects Trump to earn billions more over his term. Scaramucci pointed to Trump's $1.4 billion in crypto earnings in the past year as evidence.

Scaramucci said ordinary Americans feel the system is rigged against them. They watch a two-tier system where the powerful break the law without penalty.

He said Trump turned Washington into a gold-plated hot tub for plutocrats. When asked about Trump's deals with Vladimir Putin, Scaramucci pointed to Russian state media.

They posted a clip of US envoy Steve Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian. This shows how much flattery surrounds Trump.

He warned the public should hold Trump accountable at the midterms.
