A prominent New York financier poised to become a key liaison between the White House and Wall Street won’t be taking the role, thanks to a complicated review of the sale of his firm to a Chinese company. Anthony Scaramucci, a Republican donor and colorful surrogate for President Donald Trump, was told this week he will not be tapped to head the office that coordinates the administration’s outreach the business community and other interest groups.

Anthony Scaramucci is such a fierce defender of Wall Street that he once called a critic “anti-American” and dismissed him as “another hack politician.” “He’s got a big mouth,” Scaramucci said on Fox Business in August 2015, after Trump criticized “hedge fund guys paying nothing” in taxes.

A prominent New York financier is set to be named a top White House adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, tasked with coordinating the administration’s outreach to the nation’s financial world and key members of the political community. Anthony Scaramucci, a colorful surrogate for Trump and a top fundraiser during the campaign, will be appointed within the week, according to two people with knowledge of the decision who were not authorized to discuss that matter publicly.

“The Mooch,” as he’s widely known, is sitting in a conference room in Trump Tower, holding forth on his unlikely path from hedge fund ringmaster to Trump administration insider. Scaramucci, you see, is the Donald Trump of the hedge fund game — and now he’s going to Washington, too.
