President Donald Trump tried to lure a reporter into revealing the identities of White House staffers leaking details about his administration with the promise of even better stories, a new book has claimed.
In Team of Vipers, former White House aide Cliff Sims described how Trump did not care whether the media coverage was good or bad, “as long as it wasn’t indifferent.”
.......
The book describes how the president was in the Oval Office speaking on the phone to a “prominent” White House reporter who had quoted anonymous staff members. When the reporter said sources could not be revealed, Trump “tried to cut a deal.”
The book said that Trump told the reporter: “Of course, you know I could give you so much better stories—so much better.” After a little more unsuccessful coaxing, Trump relented. The reporter hung up without a hot scoop from ‘a source close to the president.’”
