"Trump demanded that whoever leaked the information about the missing airman should be punished, stating, '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.'"
"The person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn't say,' Trump warned, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the need to find the leaker."
President Trump warned that journalists could face jail time if they do not disclose the identity of a leaker who reported on a missing U.S. airman in Iran. The airman was one of two ejected from a downed aircraft. Trump criticized the media and insisted on punishing the leaker, stating that national security was at stake. He did not specify which media outlet or journalist he was targeting, but some suggested it was Jack Murphy who first reported the incident.
