Fired White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says there are people in Washington working against President Donald Trump. He said there are "elements" within the White House trying to eject Mr Trump.

He spoke to ABC News for the first time since being sacked last month - after just 10 days in office.

"I think there are elements inside of Washington, also inclusive in the White House, that are not necessarily abetting the president's interests or his agenda."

When asked to identify the individuals, he said he had already "named some names" and strategic changes were in place.
However, he said the president needed to bring in "more loyalists" in order to carry out his agenda.

14. I'd love to see him turn Iago.

He apparently hated 45 before, he's got nothing else to lose by turning on him, plus continue entertaining us and winning our adulation.

This guy was communications director (very briefly) so he should know what the word means.
