Apparently Trump’s daily schedule was leaked over the weekend, but Kellyanne Conway says the White House isn’t worried about it.
First, here’s the daily schedule from December 4 of last year:
Conway said that almost 400 people have access to that version of the schedule:

The White House has been burned by leaks so many times that they know better than to release sensitive information that far and wide. So I can see why this schedule isn’t that specific.
Here’s more from the Daily Mail:
Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Monday that hundreds of White House aides got copies of the trimmed-down presidential daily schedules that were leaked to a news outlet over the weekend.
The embarrassing and unprecedented return to the Trump administration’s sieve-like information security has generated talk of a mole-hunt in the West Wing, a White House official said minutes later. The official did not know if a formal inquest had been launched.
But Conway said outside the West Wing after a television appearance that the leaked material didn’t contain anything that worried the West Wing. The leaker did not appear to have access to Donald Trump’s more detailed agenda, she said, which is a better indicator of how the president spends his days.
Asked if there would be an investigation, she shrugged: ‘No. … for the obvious reasons. Nobody cares.’
‘Whoever leaked it doesn’t know what he’s doing during that block of time,’ Conway said, referring to hours upon hour labeled ‘Executive Time.’
‘Three hundred eighty-eight people have access to that broader schedule, but very few have access to that other [more detailed] schedule,’ she added.
“Nobody cares.”
I guess that about sums it up.
