Trump spune că angajații guvernamentali care divulgă informații militare ale SUA „ar trebui împușcați”

During a rally, President Trump stated that government employees leaking military information should face severe consequences, including execution or life imprisonment. He cited a specific incident involving a planned operation against Iran that was compromised due to leaks. Trump emphasized the need for strict punishment for leakers, labeling them as the "scum of the earth". He also criticized the media, equating journalists to informants for spreading false information. The Trump administration has been pursuing stricter measures against leaks, including requiring confidentiality agreements and conducting polygraph tests on military personnel. Recent actions included a controversial search of a journalist's home and attempts to compel testimony from reporters.
