"If you're asking me for my personal opinion, and maybe the president will be upset with me for giving my personal opinion, we should put the cameras on", Scaramucci said.

During an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Scaramucci said he received a call from someone over the weekend who doubted Russia's involvement in the hacking scheme; when pressed about the identity of the caller, Scaramucci acknowledged it was the president himself.

Donald Trump will "dial back" on posting provocative tweets, his new director of communications has suggested.

"He doesn't feel that he's being effectively defended in the mainstream media with the nonsense narratives out", Scaramucci told CNN.

That move led to the resignation of beleaguered press secretary Sean Spicer, who was replaced by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his former deputy.

Scaramucci's opinion that the briefings should be recorded is in line with his comments on Sunday to Tapper that the White House should have a "softer" relationship with the press, despite the president's often-combative attacks on what he refers to as the "fake news" media.

"The president is not going to have to pardon anybody because the Russian Federation thing is a nonsensical thing", Scaramucci told CNN's State of the Union.

Scaramucci was forced to deal with leaks on his first days on the job after The Washington Post reported last week that Trump and his legal team had examined presidential powers to pardon aides, family members and potentially himself. "He was just making the statement about the power of the pardon".

The White House previously made the decision to start prohibiting reporters from recording numerous daily press briefings back in June.

"What matters is that I am supporting, subordinating all of that to the President's agenda".

He praised Trump and said he was "proud" to join his administration. He hasn't made the decision yet to sign that bill, one way or the other.

Scaramucci announced over the weekend that he has deleted his old tweets, particularly those critical of Trump. Past views evolved & shouldn't be a distraction.
