EXCLUSIVE:

🚨 “Sleazebag” Leonard Leo has infiltrated the entire Trump administration and still has control over much of the DOJ’s operations and judicial picks despite President Trump’s recent condemnation of Leonard Leo and his Federalist Society @FedSoc & Teneo network 🚨 

In a recent Truth Social post, President Trump called Leonard Leo “a sleazebag”, describing Leo as a “Backroom hustler” who allegedly “controls judges”.



But, Leonard Leo may be having the last laugh by exercising substantial control over the legal staffing of the current Trump administration. Leonard Leo runs the Teneo Network. In a recent interview, Leo explained how he would use Teneo to influence President Trump’s 
@realDonaldTrump decisions.

Who are the members of the Teneo Network? 

Here’s a few of them. 

The recent Trump nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel, Elliot Gaiser @ElliotGaiser is a part of Leonard Leo’s network at Teneo. 

In case you didn’t know, the Office of the Legal Counsel in the Chief constitutional advisor to the President of the United States. 

Gaiser’s recent questions for the record in response to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing over his nomination disclosed that he is a member of Teneo.

Through Leonard Leo, Teneo has exercised substantial control over President Trump’s appointees.

Here are several more examples of Teneo members in the Trump admin, who will allow for Leonard Leo to have a nexus of influence against the wishes of President Trump. 

President Trump’s confirmed head of the Civil Division Brett Shumate @BrettShumate, recent Court of Appeals nominee Whitney Herman Dorfer, Kat Mizelle, the judge who is married to AG Pam Bondi’s @AGPamBondi’s chief of staff @ChadMizelle47, and Trump’s current FTC chair Andrew Ferguson @AFergusonFTC (who previously served as Chief Counsel for Mitch McConnell) are ALL Teneo members who are loyal to Leonard Leo and his agenda.  
 
It makes one wonder: why is the Office of Presidential Personnel (PPO) allowing someone the President has deemed a “sleazebag” to control the President’s legal agenda? 

@ssharmaUS what is going on here? 
 
The President’s message is clear: No more appointees (whether department officials or judges) who are or ever were members of Teneo. No more Leonard Leo picks. 

I’ll be on the lookout! If you are aware of anymore Teneo operatives who are doing Leonard Leo’s bidding while they are inside the Trump admin, let me know! 

At the very least, President Trump and his senior advisors deserve to have this information so that we can protect President Trump from internal sabotage by Leonard Leo, who literally just supported litigation against President Trump and his tariffs.
