White House counselor Kellyanne Conway did her usual deflecting during an interview with Fox News on Thursday evening, claiming that the whistleblower complaint isn't even a blip on the radar and President Trump has absolutely nothing to worry about.
She did take umbrage to the whistleblower writing a report based on information received from other people, telling anchor Martha Maccallum that "anybody who leaks conversations that are classified or are of national security sensitivity ought not to be working in the government, whoever you are. I hope you're watching, whoever you are, because you have the public's trust and you are a public servant entrusted with top secret and confidential information."
