White House threatens to jail a journalist

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to find and jail the journalist who first reported that a U.S. troop was awaiting rescue after his plane was shot down in Iran last week, unless that journalist revealed their source. Speaking from the White House, Trump said a “leak” told an unidentified reporter that while one pilot had been rescuedshortly after an F-15 fighter jet crashed in Iran on Friday, a second officer had not yet been found. Multiple news organizations had reported on the crash, and Trump on Monday vowed to find the leaker. “We’re going to go to the media company that released it and we’re going to say, ‘national security, give it up or go to jail,’” Trump said. He added that the person who shared the information is “a sick person.” Caption from article by Cheyanne M. Daniels, POLITICO.
