White House counselor Kellyanne Conway reportedly shared behind-the-scenes White House conversations with reporters at a Washington, D.C. party on Friday night in conversations that were overheard by another party guest.
A witness labeled Conway a “leaker” for talking about conversations with Trump in an open setting to members of the media. Leakers have been under fire by Trump and the White House. Trump is besieged by reports based on leaks of his plans and has blasted media for reporting based on anonymous sources, which he claims are likely fabricated.
The witness created an anonymous Twitter feed, @KellyanneLeaks, to document Conway’s overheard conversations. Politico first reported the Twitter feed and confirmed the conversations with two other sources.
According to the tweets, Conway told reporters that Trump told her to “go out there and say ‘Jim Comey is going to have to wait and see about the tapes.’”
“I mean, that’s basically the same as ‘no comment,’” Conway reportedly said. The witness thought she mimicked White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus’ urging staffers to stop leaking information to reporters.

She had a good/cruel riff mocking @Reince45 in WH staff meetings.
"No leaks guuuys" she said, mimicking him in a dopey voice. "Seriously" 5/— Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017
Before some WaPo folks joined her, she was talking about recent weeks in the WH to some other party guests. This expression was telling. 7/ pic.twitter.com/pR8KIuZSsF
