A scourge of unnamed sources are plaguing the White House and now even crackdowns on leaks are being leaked:

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has also tried to root out the leakers, only to have his efforts leaked. Politico writes that "[Spicer] explicitly warned staffers that using texting apps like Confide — an encrypted and screenshot-protected messaging app that automatically deletes texts after they are sent — and Signal, another encrypted messaging system, was a violation of the Presidential Records Act, according to multiple sources in the room."

Trump has repeatedly slammed the media for using anonymous sources. "They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use a name," said Trump last month. "Let their name be put out there ... Let them say it to my face."
