From Wikipedia

"Fox Business reported on January 31, 2017 that "Scaramucci's delayed appointment underscores some of the tensions building inside the Trump White House that began shortly after the President's come-from-behind victory in the November election as various aides and advisers continue to jockey for his attention and to retain and expand their power.[32] According to Politico, on January 31, 2017, with his appointment still pending approval by the United States Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus called Scaramucci "to tell him he should pull out of consideration". They reported that Priebus opposed Scaramucci's appointment because Scaramucci had a direct relationship with Trump.[11] Several senior White House officials questioned the significance of any internal feuding in Scaramucci's appointment delay.[33] Reuters reported on February 1 that Scaramucci would not get the director role.[34] In a February 2017 New York magazine article, Priebus was quoted as saying rumors that he interfered with the hiring were "not true".[35]"
