A significant internal conflict has emerged within the US administration following a leak that angered President Donald Trump. The White House launched an investigation, led by Trump’s close advisor Susie Wiles and FBI official Kash Patel, sparking concern among government employees. At least one agency has advised its staff to seek legal counsel if their phones are subject to searches. CNN reports the operation is “sweeping” and was directly prompted by Trump's frustration over the information leak. The situation highlights tensions within the administration and raises questions about the scope and legality of the investigation. The probe’s aggressive nature is causing unrest and prompting defensive measures from within government departments.
