Fears White House staff leaked top-secret meetings to New York Times

Direct quotes from conversations held in the Situation Room appear in new book by Maggie Haberman

Top-secret recordings of Donald Trump’s Situation Room meetings may have been leaked to two reporters from The New York Times (NYT), White House officials fear.

Excerpts of a new book by two of the newspaper’s top political reporters, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, include direct quotes from conversations in the highly secure room, according to Axios.

For decades, US presidents have used the Situation Room to deal with major crises facing the country. During Mr Trump’s second term, it has hosted critical talks on the war with Iran and the Epstein files.
