White House counselor Kellyanne Conway is suggesting that new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s promised changes to the agency will include clamping down on damaging leaks to the press, after transcripts of President Trump’s phone conversations with two world leaders were leaked. Conway’s comments follow White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer suggesting several days earlier to Fox that Trump has asked his team to look into the leaks. There is no evidence so far on who leaked partial transcripts of Trump’s separate calls with Mexican President Enrique Pena and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. To be sure, Tillerson said Thursday at State Department headquarters, after being sworn-in, that he is committed to reviewing processes that need change. … We are duty-bound to this country to not leak information that could jeopardize all of us.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.
