The Trump campaign issued a memo on Wednesday cautioning staff members against engaging with the press without proper authorization. The memo emphasized the importance of controlling information flow, stating that 'information is power.' Co-campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles instructed employees to refrain from speaking to the media unless explicitly permitted by Senior Leadership or the Communication Team.
This directive is part of a broader effort by the campaign to prevent leaks to the press. Reports indicate that the campaign has been actively working to restrict unauthorized disclosures since its inception. It remains unclear whether a specific incident prompted the issuance of this latest memo or if it was a routine reminder to staff about the consequences of unauthorized communication with the media.
