President Trump vowed Monday to catch the "leaker" who revealed that US forces were not immediately able to rescue the second F-15 pilot shot down over Iran — as he told again of the wounded airman's dramatic weekend rescue.
"We're looking very hard to find that leaker," Trump said in the White House briefing room. "They basically said that we have one and there's somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information."
Trump explained that the leak could have endangered the missing pilot's life.
