The White House counselor refused to state why Sadler was pushed out of her White House job.

The White House announced the move nearly a month after Sadler said in an internal meeting that McCain’s opposition to now-CIA Director Gina Haspel's nomination did not matter because “he’s dying anyway,” remarks that were first reported by The Hill.

Several media outlets have reported that Sadler was axed because she accused her supervisor, strategic communications director Mercedes Schlapp, of leaking during an Oval Office meeting with President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

The White House never publicly apologized for Sadler’s comments, instead focusing on how the remarks were leaked to the press.

West Wing aides said they were carrying out a hunt for leakers and taking other steps to stop unauthorized disclosures, such as reducing the size of communications staff meetings and even pushing people off the team.

Conway said more moves could be made “in the near future.”
