Eric Trump touched off a heated Twitter conversation about the US media on Friday, after he outed a Washington Post reporter who’d apparently been email-blasting Trump Organization employees, looking for whistleblowers.

The kerfuffle began when the president’s son somehow got a copy of an email reporter David Fahrenthold sent to a Trump employee, indicating how to reach him on encrypted apps and leak internal documents safely.

“If you ever want to get in touch with me, I’d be glad to talks ‘on background’, meaning I’d never use your name in any story, or tell anyone else that we spoke,” Fahrenthold wrote in the letter, according to the image Eric Trump published.

“All my contact information is below, including details for how to reach me on encrypted apps,” Fahrenthold added.

Would this be trying to have someone commit a crime?

It’s called spying, but they are using the word “whistle blower” to pretend that it’s nicer than spying.

The "spy" would be whoever gave the WaPo reporter the list of Trump Organization employee email addresses.

I would have had someone feed the a-hole reporter some minor stuff that was true, then feed a big, juicy false story to him and get all emails, contacts recorded for smacking him down in disgrace.
