Kellyanne Conway was overheard mocking the administration and telling a group of reporters about White House gossip in an off-the-record rant at a D.C. party Friday night.
While Trump and the White House are busy hunting down leakers, maybe they need to take a look at their own Kellyanne Conway.
At a British Embassy party on Friday night, Kellyanne was caught by guests loudly telling a group of reporters about behind-the-scenes White House gossip. In her off-the-record rant Kellyanne mocked chief of staff Reince Priebus and legislative director Marc Short. She also explained how she changes Trump’s words.
After the party, a guest who overheard Kellyanne’s rant created a new Twitter account called “@Kellyanneleaks.” The profile on the account reads, “If a NYT, Politico, or WaPo article hits @Reince45 (or other W.H. staff), good chance @KellyannePolls leaked.”
Politico confirmed with two other sources that the information tweeted out on this new account is accurate.
Kellyanne told the reporters that Trump instructed her to “go out there and say ‘Jim Comey is going to have to wait and see about the tapes.’” She then told them that she changed Trump’s words to “no comment.”
She also mimicked Priebus for the way he keeps begging the staff to stop leaking. And she said that she has no idea what some people in the administration do all day.

She held court for an hour or so as folks cycled in/out of her circle. She said Trump gave her a line to talk about "the tapes" to press 2/

She said Trump told her to say "Jim Comey will have to wait and see about the tapes"; she added "I chose to convert that to 'no comment'" 3/

I should mention that @KellyannePolls was probably talking OTR to @costareports @danbalz and @PhilipRucker — but loudly, at a DC party.

Trump/Pence people are a bit sloppy and fratricidal; what else is new. But if 45 wonders who the leakers are… https://t.co/TkUmw3EzTR

Also @nick_ayers was there. He loudly complained about @EricGreitens, and said Greitens was an "Obama lover" and "pro-amnesty." pic.twitter.com/Holz2qQg6P

… (than the meaner @Reince45 one) of an acquaintance who says "Dude!" a lot. It sounded like another WH senior staff member. 12/ pic.twitter.com/V8pNqMp9wL

At one point @KellyannePolls said "Honestly, what the fuck does Marc Short do all day?" 10/

So @KellyannePolls held court for awhile. Along with knocking @Reince45, she also made jokes about the ineffectiveness of his RNC world. 9/

"He should just be honest: 'I'm upset because there's someone working on a story who pronounces it RAYNSE instead of REINCE.'" 6/

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
