But during his Monday press briefing, Spicer suddenly struck a very different tone. He said he’s not concerned about the possibility that someone in the White House leaked to House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Nunes, in a clumsy attempt to validate Trump’s discredited claim that Obama wiretapped him in October, announced Wednesday that he had learned Trump transition officials had been incidentally and legally surveilled. After holding a news conference on the subject, he headed to the White House to brief Trump personally.

“Frankly, and questions regarding who he met with or why he was here should be referred to him,” Spicer said on Monday. Asked whether he’s concerned about the possibility there’s a leaker in the executive branch, Spicer replied, “No, we’re not concerned about that.”
As Spicer mentioned during the presser, Nunes told Bloomberg his source was an intelligence official, not a White House staffer. (This disclosure broke Nunes’ previous promise that he would “protect his source” by not revealing any information about them.)
