Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville says the wave of damaging leaks emerging from the Trump administration is far from over — and could ultimately bring down the presidency itself.Speaking on his "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville addressed revelations from "Regime Change," a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which is based on audio recordings of Situation Room conversations among top officials, along with more personal details about Trump's habits, including confirmation that he and first lady Melania Trump keep separate White House bedrooms, reported The Daily Beast."I understand the story is the incompetence and stupidity and the grossness, but the larger issue is this: They're leaking," Carville said. "They're leaking like a sieve. They leak what happens in a bedroom, they leak what happens in meetings, they get audio of meetings, and if you notice, no one has come out and said anything is untrue, because they know that all the tapes and audio are there."Carville argued the dysfunction runs deeper than any single embarrassing detail. "Trust no one. If you work in that snake pit, you can't say anything, you can't do anything," he said. "Trump, as out of his mind as he is, knows that he's surrounded by traitors. He knows he's surrounded by leakers. He knows that everything he does is going to be leaked to the next person writing the next book.""When I tell you that this thing is in its last days," he added, "I'm telling you this thing is in its last days."The 81-year-old Carville, who ran Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, has repeatedly predicted that the 80-year-old Trump won't finish his second term, suggesting he could leave office next spring following anticipated heavy GOP losses in the November midterms.Comparing the current leaks to those during the Clinton years, Carville said past disclosures were comparatively mundane. "Talking about what somebody has in a bedroom and f---ing Oreos all over the cover and they've got to clean it up, and talking about that, that's not normal s--t," he said, "and I'm telling you, it's going to get worse."

The National Park Service refused to corroborate President Donald Trump's claim of a 350-foot Reflecting Pool "gash" in a sworn court declaration filed this week.Frank Lands, the NPS's deputy director for operations, submitted the two-page declaration in an ongoing federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia over the pool's renovation. Lands described cut caulk, peeling liner material, and roughly 70 fence post tops thrown into the water. He never used the word "gash." He never cited a 350-foot figure."You'll see it in court," Trump told reporters Monday when asked whether he had visual evidence of the damage.The court filing came and went without it on Tuesday.Trump's description of the alleged damage has kept shifting. He first called it a 250-foot gash, then 300 feet, then "numerous slashes over a very long 350-foot length." However, no photos have been released. The Interior Department, asked for comment, pointed reporters to a post on X."[A] caulk over the foam sealant…was cut with a sharp knife or razor and destruction of delaminating surface material," Lands wrote under penalty of perjury.The pool is 2,000 feet long.Meanwhile, at least one of the people arrested denied doing anything wrong. David Hearn, a 67-year-old former U.S. Olympic canoeist, said he stopped at the pool during a bike ride and touched a piece of peeling paint."I didn't vandalize anything," Hearn told The Washington Post.His attorney said they would contest the two misdemeanor citations "vigorously."The renovation cost taxpayers more than $16 million. Trump has promised to drain the pool again around the Fourth of July for what he called a "permanent repair."
