BUSINESS/CHINA/TRUMP PEOPLE/ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI: "Anthony Scaramucci, a flamboyant former campaign fund-raiser for Mr. Trump whom the president has appointed as the White House liaison to the business community, has been in limbo for more than a week since he agreed to sell his investment firm to a subsidiary of the Chinese conglomerate, HNA Group.
Mr. Scaramucci is on the job but has yet to be sworn in, partly because of concerns about the Jan. 17 [2017] deal, according to two administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss personnel matters."
