An online prankster showed emails to CNN alleging that he was able to trick top White House officials into thinking they were chatting with other members of the administration, NBC News reported.
The U.K.-based man, who goes by @SINON_REBORN on Twitter, tweeted screenshots of some of the correspondence, which he claims he had with former communication director Anthony Scaramucci. The prankster said he was pretending to be ousted White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.
Scaramucci did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.
CNN also reports that the prankster pretended to be President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner while talking with Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert, who provided his personal email in the messages.
