Trump threatens jail for reporter who revealed Iran airman rescue

Washington DC, 7/4: United States President Donald Trump has warned of legal action against a journalist who first reported the rescue of a US airman in Iran, raising concerns about a possible leak within the American government.

At a press conference on the high-risk rescue mission on Monday, Trump said he would compel the reporter to disclose their source. β€œWe’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, β€˜national security, give it up or go go to jail,’” he said, adding that authorities were actively trying to identify the leaker.
