Earlier this week, in an appearance on Fox News, Trump confirmed his beliefs that Obama is behind the litany of leaks that have plagued his administration over the past couple of months.
"No, I think he [Obama] is behind it, because his people are certainly behind it. I also think it is politics, that's the way it is."
And while the source of the leaks may be easy to deduce, the appropriate response is not so easy to implement. That said, there is a growing chorus of advisers to the President who are urging him to purge the government of former Obama political appointees and quickly install more people who are loyal to him.
Newt Gingrich is among those calling for such a purge...per Politico:
"His playbook should be to get rid of the Obama appointees immediately," said Newt Gingrich, a top surrogate. "There are an amazing number of decisions that are being made by appointees that are totally opposed to Trump and everything he stands for. Who do you think those people are responding to?"
Gingrich added: "Ninety-five percent of the bureaucrats are against him."

Clean them out now
I totally agree with Gingrich.
What a nut!
yes obama was I agree with you. So glad the Democratic Party is almost non existent at this point.
Submit your resumes now because there are hundreds. Not too many want to live in DC but the VA suburbs are nice.
Any employee who does anything against the current president and his policies should be fired. Period. A part of draining the swamp.
Clean out the trash dumbocrats from D.C.
