FITSNews is reporting that a leak of sensitive information targeting the children of Attorney General Henry McMaster may have come from the office of Gov. Mark Sanford. According to FITSNews’ sources, “former Sanford communications director Chris Drummond is responsible for orchestrating the leak against McMaster, an accusation that has infuriated the Attorney General, put the Governor’s Office on the defensive and even ascended into the realm of presidential politics.”

The origins of the spat are rumored to date back to early April of this year, when Drummond was dismissed from the presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. John McCain. According to our sources, Drummond vowed revenge on the Arizona Senator after a senior McCain staffer specifically distinguished his dismissal from a broader “campaign reorganization” taking place at the time.

According to the staffer, Drummond’s firing was attributed instead to “a total failure on his part to achieve any of the objectives outlined for him by the campaign.” ["Governor’s Leaker Targets S.C. Attorney General?" - FITSNews]
