Trump accuses Democrats of leaking intel assessment of Iran strikes: ‘They should be prosecuted!'

WASHINGTON — President Trump claimed Thursday that congressional Democrats leaked a preliminary Pentagon intelligence assessment that questioned the impact of Saturday's airstrikes on Iran's nuclear program. 'The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. It's unclear if Trump has evidence pointing to a culprit as the FBI investigates the Tuesday leak of the Defense Intelligence Agency assessment drafted shortly after the strike that said Iran's nuke development may only have been set back months. 3 Trump claimed Thursday that congressional Democrats were responsible for the intel leak regarding the US strike on Iran. REUTERS White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said shortly before Trump's claim that Democrats in Congress may have been responsible — though she too described no specific evidence and said no conclusions had been made. 'It could have been someone in the intelligence community, or it could have been someone on Capitol Hill who had access to this document. The FBI is searching for that person,' Leavitt told reporters. 'We have seen this playbook run before, where you have people in the intelligence community — or perhaps on Capitol Hill, we don't know — but I believe the FBI is investigating to find out who that leaker was, because it's illegal and they should be held accountable.' 3 White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that Democrats in Congress may have been responsible for the leak. AP Democrats have complained that too little information has been shared about Trump's unprecedented strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz. CNN's Natasha Bertrand first reported on the preliminary DIA assessment Tuesday — and the New York Times, ABC, CNN, the Washington Post and the Associated Press quickly followed suit. The rapid confirmation suggests that someone who regularly engages with the media served at minimum as a corroborating source for news outlets. 3 Airstrike craters seen at Iran's Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant after the US attack.

Trump administration scolds reporters on Iran strike coverage

The Trump administration is using the podium to assail journalists for their reporting about a leaked intelligence report that provided an initial assessment of the U.S. strike on Iranian facilities. The big picture: From the White House, to the Pentagon, to the the Netherlands, the administration's messaging campaign on the Iranian operation has carried with it an all-out offensive against the media, singling out reporters by name online and in briefings. Context: President Trump's initial claims that the operation "totally obliterated" Iran's key uranium enrichment sites were scrutinized after a preliminary report from the Defense Intelligence Agency was leaked to several outlets, which reported the strikes may not have set the program back as dramatically as the president predicted. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, speaking during a Thursday briefing alongside Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, emphasized that the DIA assessment was a "low confidence" report. Zoom in: The leak infuriated Trump and top officials, who saw it as an attempt to undercut the president's claims that the sites were destroyed, Axios' Marc Caputo reported. Hegseth — in the conference meant to defend the "Great American Pilots" — nearly immediately launched into berating members of the press, accusing them of missing "historic moments" by "hunting for scandals all the time, in trying to find wedges and and spin stories." Hegseth claimed it's in the press' "blood" and "DNA" to "cheer against Trump" and said the "hatred of this press corps" undermined reporting about the operation. Zoom out: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt targeted CNN during a briefing Thursday and singled out a reporter who Trump had previously said should be "thrown out 'like a dog.'" "Despite agenda-driven leaks by the fake news media aimed at undermining this incredible accomplishment achieved by President Trump and our brave fighter pilots, there is broad consensus emerging already that Iran's nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed," Leavitt said. CNN, in a statement issued Wednesday, said it stood "100%" behind its journalists' reporting on the early intelligence assessment and that it "made clear" the initial finding could change with additional intelligence. Trump — who on Thursday described reporters from CNN and The New York Times as "BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS" — repeatedly lambasted journalists who covered the preliminary report, saying at the NATO Summit Wednesday, "They're sick. There's something wrong with them." The New York Times pushed back against Trump's claims that the reporting was "fake news," noting in a Wednesday statement that the president and his national security team confirmed the DIA did produce the assessment described in the report. Friction point: The administration has acknowledged the original assessment was real but is planning to limit sharing classified information with Congress after the leak, which the FBI is probing. On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote that "new intelligence" confirmed that Iran's nuclear facilities had been "destroyed," accusing the "propaganda media" of selectively reporting on the leaked assessment. And CIA Director John Ratcliffe, citing"a body of credible intelligence," shared a statement that Iran's nuclear program was "severely damaged," saying that information contradicted "illegally sourced public reporting." Asked what that "credible intelligence" was on Thursday, Hegseth said Ratcliffe was being "very careful" about how he discusses sensitive information but was "reflecting that the sources he's seeing are highly credible."
