Let's hope AG Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions is on top of this with his new, aggressive stance on leakers that endanger American lives.

And that president Trump has vowed to dig out despicable individuals who leak classified information, eliminate them from the government, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And here he is tweeting out uncorroborated classified information from unnamed sources with total disregard to his contentious edicts. Does this mean Sessions will investigate the president and file charges against him for violation of the law? Will Trump proclaim executive privilege? Stay tuned to Fox & Friends for the latest real news.

And here I thought Doocy was just a news reading clown with an unnatural attraction to Trump.


Trump tweets link to Fox News story based on 'classified' intelligence

President Trump tweeted out a link to a Fox News report about North Korea that contained what U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said was “classified” information. Haley said on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday that she could not discuss the story.

The president, who tweeted the Fox News report about an hour before Haley’s interview aired, did not add any comment to the link.

According to the report, North Korea had loaded two antiship cruise missiles onto a patrol boat.

“What can you tell us about that [story]?” “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy asked Haley.

“I can’t,” Haley said. “I can’t talk about anything that’s classified, and if that’s in the newspaper, that’s a shame, but…”

Doocy interjected, asking, “You have no reason to believe that’s not accurate, though?”

Haley responded: “I have no reason to comment on it.”

The Fox News report was based on two anonymous U.S. officials. Trump has repeatedly called out media outlets for using anonymous sources, his most recent criticism coming Monday about the “failing nytimes” and their “non-existent sources.”

“Remember, don’t believe ‘sources said’ by the VERY dishonest media,” Trump wrote Sept. 30, 2016. “If they don’t name the sources, the sources don’t exist.”

On “Fox & Friends,” Haley also railed against leaks of classified information, calling them “incredibly dangerous.”

“You’re not only just getting a scoop on something — you’re playing with people’s lives,” Haley said. “And this has got to stop. Whatever the leaks are coming from, if somebody thinks they’re getting power or fame from it, all you’re doing is putting Americans in danger.”

The White House has pledged to curb leaks of classified information. Attorney General Jeff Sessions promised Friday to take a more aggressive stance on the issue.

“If you improperly disclose classified information, we will find you, we will investigate you and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and you will not be happy with the result,” Sessions vowed.
