10. Scaramucci's talking point response

Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director, questioned the timing of the New York Times' report, calling it a distraction from President Trump's trip to Davos.

"This information apparently happened in June," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "Why is it coming out right now like a big water balloon on the President when he is having a fantastic trip here in Davos meeting with world leaders and about to give a fantastic speech about global prosperity and global growth? I find this to be one of those nonsensical stories and another red-herring in the investigation."

Scaramucci also took aim at former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

"I would love to get a look at somebody like Steve Bannon's phone records to see who he is talking to and how this information is out there," he said.
