by Axios | 2.4.19

The massive leak of President Trump's private schedules, which dropped yesterday in the weekly Axios Sneak Peek newsletter, set off internal finger-pointing and speculation more fevered than any since the New York Times' anonymous op-ed.

The big picture: White House insiders said the leak sowed chaos. Cliff Sims, the former White House official who wrote the dishy \"Team of Vipers,\" told me: \"There are leaks, and then there are leaks. If most are involuntary manslaughter, this was premeditated murder. People inside are genuinely scared.\"

\nMadeleine Westerhout‏ — the director of Oval Office operations, who sits outside Trump's door — tweeted: \"What a disgraceful breach of trust to leak schedules. What these don’t show are the hundreds of calls and meetings @realDonaldTrump takes everyday.\"
\nThe N.Y. Times' Maggie Haberman tweeted: \"A White House aide is weaponizing his schedules, which says a lot about how people in the White House feel about the man they work for.\"

What happened: The three months of schedules, Axios' Alexi McCammond and Jonathan Swan report, give unprecedented visibility into how this president spends his days.

\nThe schedules show that Trump has spent around 60% of his scheduled time over the past three months in unstructured \"Executive Time,\" which includes tweeting, newspaper-reading, TV-watching and phone calls.

Go deeper:

\nRead 95 pages of private schedules.
\nThe main story: Trump's first meeting of the day — usually around 11 or 11:30 a.m. — is often an intelligence briefing or a 30-minute meeting with the chief of staff.
\nWhy it matters: What we learned about Trump.
\nHow time was scheduled for Clinton, Bush, Obama.
