A former Donald Trump associate and campaign official is blaming the bumpy start of the billionaire’s presidency on mixed loyalties in the White House.
Roger Stone declines to name names in an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show Thursday, but he discusses “a division between those who are loyal to the president and those who are loyal to the Republican National Committee.”
When asked if he was referring to Reince Priebus, who headed the RNC before joining Trump’s team and becoming chief of staff in the West Wing, Stone demurs, indicating he doesn’t want to say who he is talking about.
Stone says, “The leaking that is coming out of the White House is a manifestation of the fact” that some of the people Trump hired “are not loyal.”
He adds, “I think it’s healthier to have people in the administration who share the president’s vision of where he wants to take the country.”
