Full title: As Trump fumes over leak about his congratulatory call to Putin, word is 'there's going to be a scalp over this'
President Donald Trump and some aides were furious on Wednesday after the leak of sensitive notes for briefing the president before a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to aides and a close associate.
The leak appeared designed to embarrass Trump for congratulating rather than confronting Putin contrary to the notes recommendation.

Because he is a world leader and functions as one.
He is not a narrow minded self righteously indignant nobody
“contrary to the notes recommendation.”
There was more than one note? I thought there only was one.
march a few busted leakers before a brick wall ...
there will be no more leaks . Ever
Yes....I suspect they know who it is.
I can’t believe he’s getting flak for simply being civil to the man.
That seems like the only sensible thing to do.
I wish they would and rid us of all things Soros.
Several megatons of thermonuclear weapons for starters.
No kidding, if the chief of staff cannot identify the leaker soon, he should be fired.
Another big media lie, they failed to say that all Presidents do this, Media bias by omission, too cute.
Its a common practice, when Presidents win elections the US President calls to congratulate them..when Obama called Putin would I have cared, of course not..they all do it..yet when Obama said he would be “Flexible” with Russia not a peep from the same Commie media, they all adored Russia then

I think whoever wrote that in huuuuuge letters not to congratulate Putin, knew Trump would take the bait and do the opposite.
What Trump should have done is called for a press conference and congratulated Putin on TV and then make the statement that Obama did the same to Putin and Iran leaders, Turkish leaders etc. I would have also played the video of Obama promising Medlev he can do more after he is elected. Then I would of ended the press conf and said have a good day.
Yep, right there with you.
Should be Their not there.
“Why is Trump so concerned with good manners where Putin is involved yet has no problems alienating the leaders of Canada, Mexico, Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, and Korea? Countries that are supposed to be our friends?”
My guess is that Trump is just being Trump. Trump, in general, treats people with respect when he receives respect. Some of those allies have openly criticized Trump in ways he likely sees as unfair. IMO, Putin has treated Trump with respect overall and did call to congratulate Trump when he won.
