President Trump is blasting the mainstream media for using illegal leaks to target members of his Administration.
The President slammed the Washington Post on social media Saturday after an article was published accusing Attorney General Jeff Sessions of speaking to Russian officials about the campaign.
Sessions has since denied the allegations.
President Trump demanded the DOJ and the Special Counsel investigate the illegal leaks, as well as Hillary Clinton’s alleged ties to Moscow as part of the Russia probe.
And in another tweet, the President condemned The New York Times for ruining the effort to catch the world’s most wanted terrorist.
The Commander-in-Chief blasted the mainstream news outlet for foiling the Pentagon’s efforts to catch ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in 2015.
The president was referring to a Friday interview, where a top U.S. military official said The Times leaked an intelligence lead about the whereabouts of Al-Baghdadi, allowing him to escape capture.
The New York Times responded to the President’s tweet, saying the Pentagon had no objections to the story at the time it was published.
