GotNews reported Sunday that a primary source of leaks might be neverTrumper and White House deputy chief of staff Kate Walsh. She is reportedly being investigated for distributing highly confidential information to sources such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, among others.
Maggie Haberman is also being investigated as being in collusion with Walsh. There is a possibility that Reince Prebus is involved.
GotNews editor Chuck Johnson stands behind the story.

GotNews reported that:
“Everyone knows not to talk to her in the White House unless you want to see it in the press,” says a source close to the president. “The only question is whether or not she’s doing it at the behest of [White House Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus or if she’s doing it to advance herself in DC media circles.”
One source in particular stands out: Walsh is close to Maggie Habberman, a New York Times reporter who wrote fawning pro-Republican National Committee stories during the presidential election. Walsh has also planted stories in The Washington Post and Politico. Walsh is referred to as “Madame President” in the White House, says a senior aide. “It isn’t a compliment.”
Walsh would have significant access as she controls the president’s schedule. There’s also reportedly a trove of e-mails where Katie Walsh and Reince Priebus discuss how to rid themselves of Trump, according to a former #NeverTrump consultant.
“The president and his allies have been deliberately feeding her fake information in order to find her network,” says a source close to the president’s family. “It’s been going well.”
Walsh was a rabid neverTrumper throughout the campaign. Don’t underestimate the hate these people have for the President. Sometimes keeping your enemies close doesn’t work.
The Washington Examiner reported that The House Intelligence Chair, Devin Nunes, said that there are also Obama-era officials in the Trump Administration, who are leaking information as the Administration re-staffs.
You might remember Haberman was mentioned in the Podesta emails leaked by Wikileaks.
In one email, a Clinton staffer wrote an email titled, “Placing a story” with Politico/New York Times. It includes: “place a story with a friendly journalist”, “we have a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico”, and “we should shape likely leaks in the best light for HRC.”
Haberman is always one of the first to come out with the Democrat-fed talking points, like when she said Trump behaved like “an unhappy kid” during a meeting.
