We don't know who leaked what Trump said to the Russians in the White House about Comey.

I don’t believe that leak was ever attributed to anyone. If that statement is true, Mueller probably knows who leaked it (and Trump might to). The person that heard it is a witness to obstruction and their name may be released some day.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
