Trump threatens to jail journalist in bid to find source behind report of missing airman in Iran
Trump targets media to find ‘leaker’ who revealed that a US airman was missing after being shot down by Iranian forces
Donald Trump threatened to jail a journalist – or journalists – who reported that a second US airman was missing after being shot down by Iran on Friday in a bid to identify their source.
The badly injured airman hid in a mountain crevice to avoid capture before being rescued by a US recovery team that took on heavy fire. The US president announced on Sunday that the service member had been recovered.
