WASHINGTON (Dunya News) - White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s made a latest effort to stamp out leaks coming out of the administration.

Despite the staff being told not to reveal anything about the attempted crackdown, the information was leaked to the media.

Spicer ordered about a dozen of the staffers called to the gathering to hand over their personal mobile phones as well as those provided by the government for a “check.”

While grilling staffers on the leaks he banned the encryption apps, specifically mentioning Confide and Signal.

Confide enables its users to send encrypted messages that instantly “self-destruct” and Signal employs end-to-end encryption of photos and text messages.
