Trump Aides Fear Reporters Obtained Situation Room Tapes

Top aides fear the excerpts came from recordings, which would mark a major security breach and deepen the White House fallout over the Epstein files.

  • On Sunday, White House officials expressed alarm that reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained secret Situation Room recordings for their forthcoming book, "Regime Change."
  • The book is scheduled for release on June 23, with Haberman and Swan conducting more than 1,000 interviews for their chronicle of President Donald Trump's second term.
  • Independent recording devices are forbidden in the Situation Room; tellingly, administration officials have not disputed the accuracy of quoted dialogue, including remarks by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
  • President Donald Trump is reportedly "furious" about the reconstructions, per Axios, while one administration source told Axios, "We're afraid some of our most sensitive conversations were being recorded."
  • Previous reporting by Haberman and Swan detailed the 2025 Jeffrey Epstein files furor, underscoring that leaks have plagued the White House since President Donald Trump's first term.
