President Donald Trump is suggesting his administration will pressure reporters into giving up sources on their recent stories on the impact of the military strike on Iran — and then potentially prosecuting those sources.
In an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Trump about a social media post on Thursday in which he wrote: “The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!”
“They should be prosecuted,” Trump said again — in the Fox News interview which was taped on Friday and aired on Sunday.
“Who specifically?” Bartiromo asked.
“You can find out,” Trump said. “If they wanted, they could find out easily.”
The president has repeatedly come down on CNN and The New York Times in recent days for breaking stories on the impact of last Saturday’s attack on Iran — even threatening to sue them over reporting he has called “unpatriotic.” Both outlets reported on preliminary intelligence assessments which found that the damage of the strikes were far less than the president claimed.
Trump has repeatedly insisted three Iranian nuclear sites were “obliterated.” The preliminary intelligence assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency said the bombings only set Iran’s nuclear program back a few months.
Trump went on to explain how he would go about finding out the leakers.
“You go up and tell the reporter, ‘national security, who gave it?’” Trump said. “You have to do that. And I suspect we’ll be doing things like that.”

Fox News: Trump blasts Powell, says any replacement would be better for refinancing $9T debt
Former president vows to appoint someone who will slash interest rates to help refinance $9T in national debt
President Donald Trump said he would welcome anyone but Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to lower interest rates as the U.S. is faced with having to refinance about $9 trillion in debt.
Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo sat down with Trump for an interview that aired Sunday, when she asked the president how he was going to deal with the $9 trillion in debt that is due this year.
Trump said he was going to refinance the $9 trillion as short-term debt because “we have a stupid person” at the Federal Reserve.
The president explained his desire for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates so the U.S. does not have to pay for 10 years of debt at a higher rate.
Our root problem is that we have an extremely stupid child in the White House.
Alternet: ‘It’s coming’: Trump’s new warning to reporters escalates fears in the press
President Donald Trump, in an interview on Fox News aired Sunday, warned of efforts to hold reporters and Democratic figures accountable for allegedly leaking classified intelligence.
When host Maria Bartiromo pointed to Trump’s recent social media posts critizing media outlets that reported on an intelligence assessment that Iran’s nuclear program was not “obliterated” in recent U.S. strikes, Trump said, “They should be prosecuted.”
“Who specifically?” the anchor asked.
Trump outlined an assertive plan: “We can find out. You go up and tell the reporter, ‘national security, who gave it?’ You have to do that. And I suspect we’ll be doing things like that.”
The president’s remarks generated backlash on social media, with journalists and attorneys raising concerns over his apparent plan to target reporters for their stories.
The Pentagon Papers case established the ruling precedents over 50 years ago. Trump is full of shit.
Raw Story: ‘Traitor’: FBI’s Patel and Bongino infuriate MAGA fans with Fox interview
A Fox Morning Futures interview with Donald Trump’s two top appointees to the FBI created new problems for the administration after they both stated unequivocally that accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell while awaiting trial.
“You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it,” host Maria Bartiromo pressed FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
If Jeffrey Epstein’s demise is causing discord among the MAGA fanbois, he’s probably more useful dead than alive.

Daily Beast: Fox News Analyst Floored by Hegseth’s Attempt to Deny Bombshell Leak
Trump’s Bimbo #3 Pam Bondi needs to butt out & mind her own business. Non-violent protest is protected free speech. Read the First Amendment, toots. If you can read.
The bell has rung to signal the start of Round 2 between Attorney General Pam Bondi and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, as Trump’s top legal enforcer demands the Texas Democrat apologize to Tesla shareholders for her public criticism of the automaker.
The saga started after Crockett voiced her support for #TeslaTakedown, a group organizing nonviolent protests against Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company. In response, Bondi told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo Monday that the congresswoman needed to “tread very carefully.”
Crockett appeared shortly after on MSNBC to remind Bondi that she had not “promoted violence whatsoever.”
But Bondi was not done.
And it goes on …
