Who leaked the original rumour?
Maybe Jared and a few consensus White House staffers but the logic of Trump compromising on 9th circuit judicial picks made no sense when surely many of his executive actions will be temporarily stopped by one federal judge after another and would ultimately be sent to the 9th circuit
Probably leaked by concern trolls - if they have nothing to wring their hands over, they are probably not above inventing reasons...the earlier article sure had them reenacting “Chicken Little”....again.
