A White House Purge Is Reportedly Coming After Leaks Cause Turmoil
A continuing leak of internal information from within the White House is leading toward
a major staff shakeup inside the Trump administration's communications department, according to new
reports.
Fox News cited multiple sources with knowledge of private meetings in which senior staffers
have hinted at an upcoming purge targeting those leaking confidential information to
the media.
The renewed focus on a persistent problem within this White House comes amid continuing
fallout over insensitive comments reportedly made during a meeting last week.
Following reports of communications aide Kelly Sadler's crass characterization of Sen.
John McCain's battle with brain cancer, many demanded a public apology that never
came.
Instead, reports indicated the communications department focused its attention on stemming
the tide of leaks.
Multiple sources present for a subsequent meeting fulfilled White House press secretary
Sarah Sanders' prediction about her own comments.
"I am sure this conversation is going to leak, too," she was quoted as telling staffers.
"And that's just disgusting."
Though inside accounts from recent meetings add to the speculation of a major staff change
inside the White House, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway suggested as much in an interview
earlier this week.
She denounced the actions of those responsible for the breaches, even as some within the
White House say she and other senior staffers are actually the primary sources of confidential
information leaked to the media.
"There are all kinds of leaks," she said.
"Some leaks exist to hurt, I guess, colleagues; some leaks exist because they disagree with
the policies that are being put forth.
But none of them are helpful."
Conway said another concern does not involve the leaks themselves but how White House staffers
are motivated to use information provided to the media.
"Something else that's gone on in this White House but not as badly as it was at
the beginning, where it's not so much leaking as using the media to shiv each other, and
that was going on quite a bit at the beginning of this administration and it's less so
now," she said.
When asked whether she expected staffing changes in response to the fallout over the leak of
Sadler's comments, she confirmed that she did.
"I do, actually," Conway said.
"Yes, I do."
President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy this week with a tweet in which he downplayed
reports of "so-called leaks" within the White House while reserving particularly harsh
judgment for those responsible.
"The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put
out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible," he wrote.
"With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they
are!"

The White House is Pulling Their Gun Con After Santa Fe Shooting - Duration: 2:17.
about what happened in Texas.
I pressed her on what the
administration is doing to
prevent these kinds of school
shootings to try to tamp down on
this problem of gun violence in
this country.
She said to us just a few
moments ago the conversations
about school safety are ongoing.
And she said that the
administration's school safety
commission, this was something
created in recent weeks after
what happened in parkland,
Florida.
The commission was activated
today, she said, and that the
commission is going to have its
first meeting next week.
Now, when people are at home and
they're inclined to support gun
control measures, they hear a
commission activated, that
doesn't sound like a movement
happening quickly in terms of
gun control, and that may be the
case, but it was notable, wolf,
that the white house press
secretary said they're
activating the school safety
commission and start having
meetings next week on the issue
of protecting the nation's
schools which obviously are not
being protected at this point.
This problem of mass shootings
at your nation's schools, it
keeps happening.
But when I asked her what else
is being done at the moment, she
said that the president did
speak with the Texas governor
Abbott earlier today, and no
word yet as to whether or not
the president will go down to
Texas and visit the scene or the
town of Santa fe, Texas.
But they are keeping tabs on it,
monitoring developments with
officials and she said
conversations are ongoing as to
how to protect the schools.
The question in the end is
ultimately what the president
will do about this, because as
we saw earlier this year after
what happened down in parkland,
Florida, the president sounded
receptive to gun control
measures.
Even talked about going
background check legislation.
Even talked about going after,
perhaps, the age limit on people
buying long rifles and assault
style weapons, that sort of
thing.
And then the president backed
down after he met with the
national rifle association.
Earlier this month he even said
that the second amendment rights
of Americans are under siege and
that's not going to happen on
his watch.

What is a Good Credit Score? - Duration: 1:24.
Hey Hubsters! Today we're tackling one of the most frequently asked questions
on WalletHub: What is a good credit score? A good credit score is anything
above 700, and anything above 750 is considered excellent. People with good
credit usually have at least three years of experience with loans or credit cards,
at least $5,000 of available credit and have not been 60 days late in the past
two years on any type of loan or credit card payment. And it is good to have good credit,
because when you go to get a new loan or line of credit that basically
determines if you're going to be approved, as well as the rates and
interest that you'll pay. It also affects things like your job prospects, your
apartment options and even your insurance premiums. So if you already
have good credit, congrats! If you want to improve your credit or you're not really
sure what it is right now, head to WalletHub. You'll see your latest score and a
personalized improvement plan.
