Shocking! Completely unexpected! Tillerson suggests Jared might be a sneaky, leaky little snake
‘I know who it is’: Rex Tillerson blames Jared Kushner for leaking damaging stories about him
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/know-rex-tillerson-blames-jared-kushner-leaking-damaging-stories/
In an interview with The New Yorker, Tillerson fumed about being undermined by leaks from within the administration that were aimed at damaging his stature as America’s top diplomat.
“I know who it is,” Tillerson said of the leaker. “I know who it is. And they know I know.”
Although he never names Kushner by name on the record, multiple sources tell The New Yorker that he is referring to Kushner, who has also been accused of leaking dirt on other Trump administration officials such as former political strategist Steve Bannon and chief of staff John Kelly.
“Before Tillerson’s departure, tensions between the two men had been flaring regularly, often in the form of a public-relations proxy war,” The New Yorker reports. “When Tillerson prevailed in reinstating some of the humanitarian funds for U.N.R.W.A. that Haley had sought to withhold, press items discussing potential negative repercussions for Kushner’s Middle East peace efforts began appearing. A State Department official with knowledge of the situation accused Kushner of planting them.”
