Sanders Held Staff Meeting On McCain's Leaked Statement, And That Leaked Too!

According to Swan’s reporting, a “visibly upset and furious” Sanders told the group of some 20 staffers: “I am sure this conversation is going to leak, too. And that’s just disgusting.”Show more

Sources from the meeting told Swan that White House strategic communications director Mercedes Schlapp voiced support for Sadler, who has faced calls for her resignation over the comments.

“You can put this on the record… I stand with Kelly Sadler,” Schlapp said, which a source told Swan was intended to support staffers that are the victims of leaks.

Sanders, who reportedly said Sadler’s comments were innapropriate, focused her ire on leaks from private White House meetings.

Swan said on MSNBC that the White House press team is “in complete disarray.”
