In an unrestrained interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, President Donald Trump once again revealed what he claims is yet another instance of deep-state sabotage—this time concerning a classified Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report that was allegedly used to undermine his successful military operation against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
The issue revolves around a leak to CNN and *The New York Times* asserting that U.S. B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities did not result in significant long-term damage. This initial DIA assessment—subsequently retracted as new intelligence surfaced—was conveniently utilized by the left-leaning media to portray Trump as reckless, ineffective, and misinformed. However, Trump is now demanding accountability for what he describes as a politically motivated act of national betrayal.
On June 27, Trump took to Truth Social with a daring accusation: “The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!”
He did not stop there.
In his conversation with Bartiromo, Trump reiterated his assertion and made it clear that he intends to pursue this matter. When Bartiromo prompted him to elaborate, asking, “You tweeted that Democrats leaked intelligence…?” Trump responded without delay: “They should be prosecuted.”
This is not merely political rhetoric—it constitutes a direct accusation that elected Democrats, who were briefed on the classified mission, leaked sensitive intelligence to leftist media outlets with the sole intention of undermining a sitting president’s credibility during an active national security operation. If proven true, it amounts to nothing less than treason.
Bartiromo pressed on, inquiring whether the leakers could indeed be identified. Trump’s reply was unequivocal: yes, and they must be held accountable. “We can find out easily. You go up and tell the reporter, ‘National security, who gave it?’ You have to do that.”
Trump’s stance is straightforward—no individual, including members of Congress, ought to be exempt from the law regarding the disclosure of classified information. If the media received access to a highly confidential DIA report that was still being evaluated, the American public has the right to know who provided it and the reasons behind it. This is particularly crucial when such a leak has directly jeopardized a successful precision strike against a rogue nuclear regime.
The president also addressed wider national security issues, especially the extensive espionage operations conducted by the Chinese Communist Party. Bartiromo highlighted Beijing’s involvement in hacking, the theft of intellectual property, and the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States. Trump was candid in his reply, affirming that espionage is reciprocal in the harsh realm of global power dynamics. “You don’t believe we engage in that with them?” he inquired. “That’s how the world operates. It’s a vicious world…”]} }]}
Indeed, it is true—and President Trump consistently demonstrates that he is among the few who are prepared to combat fire with fire.
This recent scandal casts a glaring spotlight on the destructive tactics employed by the Democrat establishment and their media partners. Disclosing classified information to CNN and the *New York Times* might yield superficial political advantages—but it simultaneously jeopardizes our military, threatens national security, and violates the trust of the American populace.
