President Trump vowed Monday to catch the “leaker” who revealed that US forces were not immediately able to rescue the second F-15 pilot shot down over Iran — as he retold of the wounded airman’s dramatic weekend rescue.
“We’re looking very hard to find that leaker,” Trump said in the White House briefing room. “They basically said that we have one and there’s somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn’t know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.”
“We think we’ll be able to find it out, because 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.
“It became a much more difficult operation because a leaker leaked that we have one, we’ve rescued one, but there’s another one out there that we’re trying to get,” he added.
“The country, Iran, put out a major notice… offering a very big award for anybody that captures the pilot… We have to find that leaker, because that’s a sick person. Probably didn’t realize the extent of how bad it was. I can’t imagine that the person did, but we’re going to find out. It’s national security, and the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn’t say.”

Lock the press out of the WH AND AF1. Let them get their headlines from streaming video. The press is the enemy of the US and has been since the 60’s.
So who in the administration or at the Pentagon is close to Jennifer Griffin from Fox News?
So they know it's a man, but they don't know who it is.
Probably in the State Dept or Military
Trump isn’t all touchy feely about this gender nonsense.
EC
The leaky person is probably leaking in their pants right about now.
I doubt they thought about the consequences, but they should have a huge fine, be fired and lose their pension, probably go to jail for a while as well.
Some low level judge will free the culprit within 5 minutes of any sactions and the Trump feds will let her/him walk just like they cave to every low level judge.
The way it is written, I think the journalist is the “he” and they know who that “he” is but not the other that gave the info to “he”.
Voted for the guy 3 times, but still shake my head listening to him ramble...
Was she the first to report this?
That’s all u got on an important issue like this? Who gives a flying crap about what u think.
That low level judge and its family will then require 24/7 security.
That can be an exhaustive lifestyle.
Just what I was going to say.
“probably go to jail for a while as well”
…probably?! 5 years minimum
Im not sure the leaker said anything to Jennifer Griffin, who was the first to report on this..? And yes whoever did this needs to be strug up and hung this could have ended VERY badly thank God it was a successful rescue
His “rambling” as you call it is exactly what’s needed.
Pour yourself a glass of wine and switch to reruns of Hazel. You’ll feel better. 🍷
I cleanse my palate of too much politics by watching true crime; it’s less disturbing. 😵💫
No need for quotes around leaker.
I just saw a press briefing with SOW Hegseth, General Caine, and the President.
I thought it was great, especially the back & forth with the press from the 47th President.
According to democrat message boards Trump is supposedly in a Biden like vegetable state, which is laughable after this last presser.(They’re stupid drones.)
