Washington
\nWhite House aides have narrowed down their search for the anonymous author of the New York Times op-ed that alleged an internal resistance to President Donald Trump in his own administration, an informed sources told CNN.<\/p>\n
Trump is still \u201cobsessed\u201d with finding the person, though he is being counselLed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to let it pass, to avoid bringing more attention to the claims in the op-ed that shook the political world.<\/p>\n
However, there were no details the identity of the individuals the White House aides have zeroed in on.<\/p>\n
The op-ed published on Wednesday afternoon, just a day after excerpts from veteran journalist Bob Woodward\u2019s new book, \u201cFear: Trump in the White House\u201d, were published.<\/p>\n
The anonymous writer said the resistance inside Trump\u2019s administration is not the same as the resistance from the political left.<\/p>\n
The author wrote that the resistance inside the government wants \u201cthe administration to succeed … But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the President continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic\u201d.<\/p>\n
The author also wrote that the \u201croot of the problem is the President\u2019s amorality\u201d and assails Trump\u2019s \u201creckless decisions\u201d, \u201cerratic behaviour\u201d and what the official describes as the President\u2019s \u201cimpetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective\u201d leadership style.<\/p>\n
More than 25 high-ranking Trump administration officials have come out publicly denying having penned the op-ed, including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and Defence Secretary James Mattis, CNN reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
