The pair has participated in interviews together in the past, including just after Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business documents in his New York hush money trial. Although it is unclear what the pair discussed at the meeting, according to an insider, Blanche could be serving as an informant for the CNN host.

"Trump hates anyone in his inner circle being a leak," the insider told OK!. "It’s quite obvious from these pictures that Kaitlin and Todd aren’t talking about the plans for Christmas!"

"This cozy catch-up could infuriate Trump," the insider added.

"He’s been caught red-handed being a source to one of CNN’s biggest stars," the insider continued. "You don’t look deep in conversation if you’re just catching up and talking about the weather."

"Todd is an informant on Trump World for Kaitlin — but they’ve been done over by an eagle-eyed onlooker! Next time Kaitlin gets a scoop on the inner workings of the president-elect’s transition, you’d have to finger Todd as the likely culprit."

This comes nearly three weeks after Trump, 78, nominated Blanche as deputy attorney general in his upcoming administration. If confirmed, this would make the president-elect's lawyer the second-highest ranking official in the Justice Department.

"Todd prosecuted gangs and other federal crimes as a Chief in the Southern District of New York United States Attorney’s Office, clerked for two Federal Judges, and graduated with Honors from law school, while working full time at the SDNY."
