The Treasury Department is evidently not immune to the leak problem plaguing the Donald Trump White House.

“President Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin used his first senior staff meeting last month to tell his new aides he would not tolerate leaks to the news media, sources familiar with the matter said,” reported Reuters Friday morning.

“Two sources familiar with Mnuchin’s first meeting with senior Treasury staff said he told them that their telephone calls and emails could be monitored to prevent leaks. One of the sources said that staff were told that monitoring could become policy,” they also reported.

The leaks comes a week after the White House drafted a four-page memo detailing the dangers of leaks and ways to avoid them. The memo promptly leaked.
