Carville encourages leaks from Trump White House staffers

Carville said staffers can protect their reputations by sharing damaging details with reporters as a new book describes leaks and infighting inside the White House.

  • On June 23, Democratic strategist James Carville urged Trump White House staffers to leak information during his Politics War Room podcast, arguing that cooperating with reporters protects reputations.
  • His comments coincide with the June 23 release of Regime Change by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which details a White House riddled with infighting and recurring crises.
  • Carville called the administration a collection of "stumbling, bumbling" fools and instructed aides that "when the history is written, the leakers always do better." He urged staffers to leak "everything that you know."
  • Aides are allegedly eager to protect themselves by leaking internal details, according to Carville, who claimed they are "already covered in" filth and leaking is their only path to redemption.
  • Carville asserted President Donald Trump would be "gone by April of next year," describing him in deeply unflattering terms and claiming the president "doesn't even know where he is.
