Saruman's treachery was amazingly kept a secret from the entire White Counci. Even so, I'm sure that Galadriel and some of the other very astute Councillors had their private suspicions of Saruman. He had delayed the attack against Dol Guldur and kept claiming that the One Ring had been lost forever, while secretly searching for it himself. He managed to hide his rebellion, until Gandalf came to Isengard, and told Saruman that the Ring was in the hands of a Hobbit. That realization drove Saruman to commit the mistake of letting Gandalf know that he had rebelled.
