A spokesman for Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday strongly denied he was the senior administration official who wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times that there is a “resistance” within the Trump administration aimed at blocking the president’s agenda.

“The Vice President puts his name on his Op-Eds. The @nytimes should be ashamed and so should the person who wrote the false, illogical, and gutless op-ed. Our office is above such amateur acts,” Pence spokesman Jarrod Agen tweeted.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats also issued a denial Thursday.

“Speculation that The New York Times op-ed was written by me or my Principal Deputy is patently false. We did not,” Coats said in a statement.

“From the beginning of our tenure, we have insisted that the entire IC remain focused on our mission to provide the President and policymakers with the best intelligence possible,” he said, referring to the intelligence community.

Earlier Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who previously served as Trump’s CIA director, also denied he was the stinging missive’s anonymous author.

“It is sad that you have someone who would make that choice,” Pompeo said in Delhi. “I come from a place where if you’re not in a position to execute the commander’s intent, you have a singular option, that is to leave.”

Speculation about the vice president has been spreading on social media because the column writer used the word “lodestar,” an archaic term that Pence has used in several speeches.

The op-ed, which appeared online Wednesday afternoon, was written by a senior official in the Trump administration, according to the Times.

It slams the president as morally unmoored, assails his “impetuous” leadership style and describes a “two-track presidency” in which Trump acts according to his own whims while many of his top aides thwart his “more misguided impulses until he is out of office.”

The writer also said that some top administration officials discussed whether to invoke the 25th Amendment early in Trump’s presidency to kick him from office.

“Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the Cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis,” the op-ed reads.

“So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.”

On Thursday morning, Trump suggested in a tweet that the op-ed was born of frustration from his adversaries amid his administration’s successes.

Trump cited the booming economy and what he expects to be the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to a seat on the Supreme Court.

“The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy – & they don’t know what to do,” Trump wrote.

“The Economy is booming like never before, Jobs are at Historic Highs, soon TWO Supreme Court Justices & maybe Declassification to find Additional Corruption. Wow!” he added.

In using the term “declassification,” Trump appeared to refer to an ongoing battle between some GOP lawmakers and the Justice Department over disclosing documents related to the start of the Russia probe, according to the Washington Post.

The lawmakers have argued that such materials would show wrongdoing on the part of FBI and Justice Department officials.
