>      Trump has launched an investigation, and expressed his
>    displeasure in a tweet: "Why are there so many illegal leaks
>    coming out of Washington?"  The answer may have to do with
>    uncertainty and unrest inside the administration, as well as
>    the president's ongoing attacks against the intelligence
>    community. But it doesn't hurt that every White House and
>    Congressional staffer has tools to facilitate secure
>    communication in their pocket or bag. Specifically, multiple
>    reports indicate that Republican operatives and White House
>    staffers are using the end-to-end encrypted messaging app
>    Confide, which touts disappearing messages and anti-screenshot
>    features, to chat privately without a trace.
