INVESTIGATING 'ANONYMOUS': President Trump's top officials on Sunday said the anonymous senior White House aide who allegedly wrote the infamous New York Times op-ed last week should leave the administration and that an investigation could be needed ... "If they are that senior administration official -- they're violating an oath, not to the president, but to the Constitution," Vice President Mike Pence told "FOX News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace. "Look, it's un-American. And I think that's why you've seen Republicans and Democrats condemn this."
President Trump, Pence said, was concerned about the national security implications of the op-ed. "To have someone who literally celebrates coming in every day to frustrate the agenda that the president and I were elected to advance -- it really is an assault on our democracy," he said. Pence added that he would be willing to take a lie-detector test to prove he was not behind the op-ed.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway told CNN "there can be an investigation if there is criminal activity." President Trump, Conway indicated, is concerned the anonymous op-ed writer could leak information if he or she is trying to undermine his agenda. "We also don't know what this person has said to try to get that op-ed in The New York Times or what he or she has said to other people. So, to the president's point that there could be a national security risk at hand, he doesn't want this person in a meeting where he's discussing China, Russia, North Korea."
