Sean Spicer – spokesman for the leakiest White House in history – summoned his staff to a surprise meeting where they were forced undergo a “phone check” where they unlocked their phones to prove they had “nothing to hide.”
Spicer then went on to lecture his staff that using privacy-oriented messaging apps like Signal and Confide “was a violation of the Presidential Records Act.”
Word is that Spicer is worried that his boss – whose trademark, after all, is to bark “you’re fired” – is growing impatient with the the shambolic nature of White House communications, and that this is why Trump staged his own, off-script, bizarre and ominous press-conference.
At the meeting, Spicer told his staff they’d be subjected to worse punishments if news of the meeting was leaked.
