Paranoid W. House bans cell phones

THE WHITE HOUSE is banning phones and “personal devices” from the West Wing the day after a flood of embarrassing stories emerged from the book of a writer granted insider access.

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited “security” as the reason for the change, which was announced in a statement Thursday.

“The security and integrity of the technology systems at the White House is a top priority for the Trump administration and therefore starting next week the use of all personal devices for both guests and staff will no longer be allowed in the West Wing,” the statement read. “Staff will be able to conduct business on their government-issued devices and continue working hard on behalf of the American people.”

The change comes after outlets, including the Daily News, published reports based on “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” by Michael Wolff.

Wolff said he was able to take up “something like a semi-permanent seat on a couch in the West Wing” in an arrangement blessed by President Trump and unrestrained by clear rules on his access.
