Washington sources reported that US President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted those inside the White House leaking internal deliberations and described them as “traitors and cowards”. Meanwhile he said in a tweet that “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".
Accordingly the tweet comes amid a latest leak from the White House in which Kelly Sadler, a White House communication aide, made a crass comment against Senator John McCain, who is battling brain cancer. Previously Sadler reportedly dismissed McCain’s opposition to the nomination of Gina Haspel for CIA director by, saying “it does not matter, he is dying anyway”.
The Senator from Arizona is undergoing treatment after he was diagnosed
with cancer last July. Sadler later apologized to the McCain family. “He was
told Kelly Sadler called the McCain family late last week and did apologize,”
White House Deputy Principal Press Secretary Raj Shah told reporters during a
news conference.
