Kellyanne Conway accuses Australia of leaking Trumps belligerent phone call with prime minister

Kellyanne Conway accuses Australia of leaking Trump’s belligerent phone call with prime minister



Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway went on Fox & Friends on Thursday and took a veiled shot at one of America’s most stalwart allies for leaking the transcript of Trump yelling at their own prime minister.

“This is the practice for us, though — we’re the ones not leaking,” Conway told the program. “You saw it with the earlier reports, you see it here. You’re a little bit hamstrung when you’re the ones upholding the law or, more frankly, upholding a gentlemen’s agreement to not release.”

When asked by the Fox & Friends who did release the transcript, Conway gave a cagey reply.

“Well, you can make your own conclusions,” she said, implying that if the Trump team didn’t leak the call, it must have been Australia.

It's in your best interest that nobody finds out what happened on that call.

Tried to find it, couldn't.

But the only thing he is denying is Trump hanging up.

Everything else? Looks like he said what is being reported.

Think it is the cruelest thing that Trump has ever done - forcing us to have to see and hear her.

A second insult to a close ally.

Unbelievably insolent.

Do they think no one hears them say these things?

The press down under was at great pains that they did not get this story, but had to find out from the US. They were also quick to point out that after the phone call the PM was reluctant to reveal any details, and that now they knew why

she is a fucking liar

Except i don't believe you Kellyanne. So, just because you say so means nothing. In fact, i'm prone to be believe the opposite of what you say!

By making trump more paranoid, even less fit for office?

Pence.

I don't even think he's unpack his boxes at the VP's residence.

I'd bet Pence has a mole reporting on donny's every inept move.

Every leak puts Pence one step closer to the big boy chair.
