Interesting. What say you?

Wow, aside from the hilariousness, it looks like Kellyanne Conway just outed herself as the “person familiar” in lots of White House leaks. That’s not an attribution that reporters would ask to use, it has to be negotiated for. pic.twitter.com/wtyj8H2vIB

If we’re talking to a WH official, we would first ask for on the record, then “White House official,” then “source in the White House.” “Person familiar” is an attribution that a source would ask for to insulate themselves. That Conway dropped it so casually is a major tell.
