A senior aide told Politico that staffers spend hours digging through news reports trying to determine whos leaking information to the press, and aides use encrypted messages and turn off their work-issued devices to thwart eavesdroppers.
I wouldnt call it paranoia under the circumstances, one Republican close to the Trump administration said. Its not paranoia if people really are out to get you, and everybody actually is out to get everyone else.
One aide told the website that he turns off his work phone and stashes it in a drawer, and he makes off-hours calls on a personal phone in the next room, like Winston Smith ducking into an alcove to hide from the telescreen in George Orwells 1984, so the hidden phone cant pick up his voice.
(Theyre) mimicking what theyre seeing at the top, said another Republican close to the White House. Everyone at the top is so suspicious that it trickles down the org chart, so everyone has become paranoid and suspicious.
