'Utter baloney': White House says Valerie Jarrett didn't leak Hillary emails (The Washington Examiner)

The White House has a rather unfavorable view of a report suggesting that Valerie Jarrett, President Obama's senior adviser, leaked news of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

"It's utter baloney," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Monday.

The New York Post late Saturday published an article saying that Jarrett, Obama's closest confidant, was behind the leak of Clinton's personal emails. The paper said the White House was intentionally trying to sabotage the presumptive Democratic frontrunner's campaign.
