Updated June 27, 2025
President Donald trump is accusing Democrats of leaking an intelligence report that suggested U.S. strikes on Iran were less effective than his administration claimed. The intel leak has sparked a war of words between the White House and the media, specifically CNN.
“The Democrats are the ones who leaked the details on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!” Trump posted on Truth Social, escalating the media feud.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Trump’s call for prosecution during a press briefing Thursday. “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 said.
Leavitt also directly addressed CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, who initially reported on the leaked intelligence earlier in the week. The White House is aggressively pushing back against what it calls “low-confidence” reporting.
“This is a reporter who has been regrettably used by people who dislike Donald Trump in this government to push fake and false narratives,” Leavitt said. ”She should be ashamed of herself.”
