Reports based on a new Twitter account claim that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway loudly criticized her West Wing coworkers during a party at the British Embassy Thursday night, but Press Secretary Sean Spicer says she's disputing the claims.
Politico reported Saturday that Conway was overheard talking, off-the-record, with reporters and others at the party, and had been mimicking White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and his attempts to make people stop leaking information from the West Wing.
The account, @KellyanneLeaks claimed in its description that if articles appearing in The New York Times, Politico or The Washington Post concern Priebus or other White House staff, there is a "good chance" Conway leaked the details.
The person running the Twitter account then went on to post several photographs of Conway speaking with people at the party, along with snippets of comments — sometimes laced with profanity — that he or she claimed Conway had said.
The account also claimed that Conway complained that "she's the one catching the slings and arrows in the West Wing" and that she wanted to know what legislative director Marc Short does all day.
Further, it was posted on the Twitter account that Conway told the reporters that President Donald Trump told her to say that "[Former FBI Director] Jim Comey is going to have to wait and see about the tapes," which she compared to stating "no comment."
Spicer told Politico that not only does Conway dispute the account, but that she and Short are close to one another. Further, he denied another claim, that Conway was mocking him, saying that she was actually mocking members of the media who enjoy stories about palace intrigue.
He also denied that Conway was complaining about the Trump order on Comey's statements, but instead was explaining to the reporters what lawyers have allowed White House officials to say.
Politico, however, said that two other sources confirmed Conway's comments.
