Donald Trump was slammed for congratulating Vladimir Putin on Tuesday morning in a phone call<\/a> following the Russian dictator\u2019s rigged reelection victory.<\/p>\n But later on Tuesday, the Washington Post<\/em> was leaked memos revealing that Trump\u2019s advisers had instructed him specifically NOT<\/a> to congratulate Putin.<\/p>\n And Trump is reportedly furious<\/a>:<\/p>\n Trump was fuming Tuesday night, asking his allies and outside advisers who they thought had leaked the information, noting that only a small group of staffers have access to those materials and would have known what guidance was included for the Putin call<\/a>, the source said.<\/p>\n According to the source, the incident resurfaces his long-held belief there are individuals inside his administration \u2014 especially in the national security realm \u2014 who are actively working to undermine him.<\/p>\n White House chief of staff John Kelly also is furious that a confidential presidential briefing became public knowledge, a White House official said, and intends to address the matter Wednesday as aides try to figure out who disclosed the warning.<\/p>\n The post Trump Infuriated by White House Leak That He Was Instructed NOT to Congratulate Putin<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
