Gary Cohn reportedly kept the jobs report away from Trump out of concern he would break protocol and
comment on them early
The former National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn kept the monthly jobs report away from President Donald Trump to prevent any leaks, Politico reported Monday.
Over an hour before the jobs report on Friday, Trump tweeted he was "looking forward" to the numbers, jolting traders into speculation that they were good.
A Bureau of Economic Analysis rule bars executive-branch officials from commenting on the jobs report until an hour after its release.
Larry Kudlow, who replaced Cohn in the NEC role, said Trump didn't give anything away.
