President Trump on Monday said his administration is looking for a "leaker" who shared information with the media about a daring rescue mission after a U.S. fighter jet was downed inside Iran last week.
"We didn't talk about the first one for an hour and then somebody leaked something," Trump told reporters during a press conference at the White House. "Which, we'll hopefully find that leaker, we're looking very hard for them. … We think we'll be able to find it out."
