Trump plans to prevent future whistleblowers by "tightening the circle of people" aware of his calls

[Miles Archer]

On Thursday’s edition of CNN’s “The Situation Room,” CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta reported that President Donald Trump has grown furious about the state of White House leaks, and his officials are working to keep as many people in the administration as possible shut out from his phone calls with foreign leaders — precisely to avoid situations like the exploding DNI whistleblower scandal.

“As for the whistleblower complaint that’s being kept from Congress, a senior administration official tells CNN as these leaks from these calls have angered Trump, top officials in the West Wing began to limit who could listen in on these conversations so as to tighten the circle of people in the know and what the president has been discussing in some of these phone calls with foreign leaders,” said Acosta.

“That means there may be only a small number of people are aware of the details contained in this whistleblower complaint,” he added. “Lot of questions for the White House, not a lot of answers tonight.”

3. It's not a leak

It's someone doing his/her job.

In any case, I would guess there are procedures for who listens in on his calls. Also, isn't it possible someone is monitoring him because they know he's a threat to national security? Plus, if they're monitoring Putin, they'd get Trump's calls with him, anyway, wouldn't they?

These are all guesses on my part, but I would think he can't really limit who listens to his calls. Anyone here familiar with these sorts of issues?


Edited to add: God, I hate that face. I hope he ends up buried in a prison somewhere where I don't have to look at it.
