Inside Leakage
Trump threatened to fire anyone who was found to have leaked information on White House proceedings
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that staff had been fired for leaking information.
No names were given but it was made evident that the White House won’t take leakers likely.
“The President has to have advisers around him who can have open, candid discussions and then not read about him the next day in the newspapers or watch them on television,” John Bolton said.
Bolton, the National Security Adviser spoke about the recent revelation of firing leakers.
“When I worked for Mr. Trump, I worked under the maxim that he liked leaks. I never cleared them ahead of time, but I would tell him later so he’d have deniability,” said Sam Nunberg.
Nunberg once worked for the President as a campaign official.
“Sometimes he loved them, sometimes he screamed about them. But he never told me to stop. He loves the media, loves being talked about, he loves how a leak gets his name in the news,” he added.
The White House had decided to make the gathering for meetings smaller. The intent was to keep those who be divulging information to a low or non existent.
This was a sign that all wasn’t well at the White House. Something Trump had denounced as untrue.
