Author Ron Kessler: Trump Didn’t Know Kellyanne Conway Was ‘Number One Leaker’ Until Now

Ronald Kessler, author of an upcoming book about President Donald Trump’s administration, said on Monday that the president is reading his book now — and finding out that Kellyanne Conway is the White House’s “number one leaker.”

Kessler, who spent time with Trump reporting the book, The Trump White House: Changing the Rules of the Game, appeared on The Domenick Nati Show on iHeartRadio and dished on some of his juicy revelations.

Namely, his claim that White House counselor Conway is the “number one leaker” in the administration.

“How much longer do you think Kellyanne Conway has before she is fired?” Nati asked Kessler.

“Trump certainly did not know she was a leaker until now, so let’s see what he says,” Kessler replied. “He’s reading the book now. I know that early on he took her off the air for several weeks when he thought she was screwing up, so he’s not afraid to make her accountable.”

Kessler also said on the show that his book refers to Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner as “the teflon aides, because they have been behind the most disastrous and most foolish decisions of the Trump presidency.”

“Trump is aware of the problem, he has told them maybe they should go back to New York,” Kessler added, but “they’re not going to go anywhere because he is not going to fire a family member.”
