President Trump has had enough. And now he’s taking action.
For too long, the leaks out of the West Wing have put the Trump Administration in embarrassing and unproductive positions. And now top Trump staff are fed up with secret information being given to the press.
Last week, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway announced that the President was exploring options for firing a ton of staffers in an effort to stop the leaks. (RELATED: Kellyanne Conway is Furious After Recent White House Leaks- Promises Firings).
Now it looks like Trump is following through, and has ordered Chief of Staff John Kelly to initiate the culling. Let the heads roll!
Politico reports:
President Donald Trump has demanded changes to his communications team — long seen as one of the most internally divided offices in his White House — in an effort to crack down on the leaks that have plagued his presidency since Day One.
White House chief of staff John Kelly signed off on a plan that would flush out some of the department’s midlevel and junior aides, according to three people familiar with the situation. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other key senior officials are expected to remain, these people said. But a White House official told POLITICO Wednesday morning that the plan has not yet been formally approved and remains in flux.

About. Damn. Time.
White House leaks have gotten out of control. The West Wing has become a colander of secrets, with sensitive information leaking to the media nearly every day.
This has got to stop. Top White House officials already recognize that non-stop leaking is a detriment to their jobs and effectiveness. Now Trump plans to plug the holes for good. (RELATED: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says White House Leakers ‘Should Be Fired’).
