Trump carried handwritten list of suspected leakers: report
By Brett Samuels - 09/06/18 08:17 AM EDT
President Trump has grown increasingly paranoid about individuals within his administration trying to undermine him, and carried a handwritten list of suspected leakers for some time last year, Axios reported Thursday.
Officials told the news outlet that they agreed with the sentiments expressed by an anonymous senior administration official who blasted Trump in an op-ed in The New York Times and described an effort among some staffers to push back against the president's impulses.
Axios reported that Trump has become "deeply suspicious" of administration officials, including some of his own political appointees, and occasionally asks staffers what they think about their colleagues.
The president carried the handwritten list of potential leakers, and would describe the need to get rid of "snakes" within the administration, a source told Axios.
