Anthony Scaramucci, a member of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, is exploring the sale of SkyBridge Capital as he seeks a post within the incoming administration, according to a person familiar with his thinking.

Scaramucci, who has weighed selling his firm in the past, is considering exiting now as he’s open to taking a government job, such as a role at the Council of Economic Advisers, said the person, who asked not to be named because the information is private. He’s also considering a bid for finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
