It's unusual for campaign talking points to get loose. Don't know if they were planted there or not.

They are a campaign talking point memo he is reporting.

Here's his article:

Donald Trump's campaign is instructing its supporters to use figures like Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers to beat back concerns about how Trump described a former winner of "Miss Universe," according to a copy of Wednesday campaign talking points obtained by CNN.
