New York (CNN) President Trump doesn't want you to believe stories that rely on unnamed sources. How the White House regularly provides info to reportersTrump's supporters might not know this, but the White House regularly hosts what are called "background briefings." The information is often not attributable to the person, but to an unnamed "senior administration official." The White House press office also uses this tactic. When reporters ask White House spokespeople questions, it's not unusual for them to get a response back providing information attributable only to an unnamed "White House official."
