Interestingly, only last month the President stated

“I'm against the people that make up stories and make up sources,” Trump said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Md. “They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name.”

This month, the White House spokesman quoted someone who used anonymous sources
Quote:
Mr Spicer had earlier repeated claims that Mr Obama used GCHQ to spy on Mr Trump before he became president.
"He’s able to get it and there’s no American fingerprints on it," Mr Spicer said of the intelligence supposedly provided to Mr Obama by Britain.
"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command – he didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI and he didn't use the Department of Justice – he used GCHQ."
