Who in the WH is leaking to the press? [View all]

The account of Trump talking to the Russians about how he got rid of "nut job" Comey came from someone in the White House. We've seen a number of other stories that have come from White House sources, like accounts of Trump's continuing contact with Flynn.Where do you think the leaks are coming from?
