For President Donald Trump, loyalty is key — and the question of who within his administration had been revealing classified information to the liberal media has been weighing on the president’s mind since the inauguration.
That table has finally turned.
According to reports, Trump’s White House has finally figured out who is behind the nasty leaks… and the president is ready to take action.
Trey Yingst, chief White House correspondent for the One American News Network, tweeted an inside scoop Monday that three sources have been identified and Trump is prepared to punish them.
SCOOP: Three White House staffers have been identified for leaking classified info. POTUS will fire 'multiple people' when he returns to DC.

Yingst claims that the names of three White House staffers have been given to the Office of Government Ethics in association with leaking information to the press.
While leaks aren’t uncommon for presidential administrations to experience, the scope of which Trump’s has suffered is unprecedented.
News outlets have been privy to everything from details of draft documents to Trump’s private phone conversations with foreign leaders.
“This has all the markings of a coordinated, silent coup,” said Michael Caputo, who worked on Trump’s campaign and keeps in touch with administration officials.
“Somebody is selectively leaking information and facts. And there’s a reason it’s selective,” said White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who once demanded that staffers turn over their cell phones so he could inspect them for unauthorized communication. “It’s because they’re trying to create … at least it appears as though somebody is trying to create a narrative or a problem.”
But there could soon be an end in site, once Trump returns from his overseas trip and takes care of business in the White House – likely uttering that “You’re fired” catch phrase three more times.
