President Trump called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the anonymous author of a recent New York Times op-ed piece Friday, saying he believes the unidentified official could pose a potential “national security” threat during high-level meetings.
The President was speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One when he was asked to comment on the recent anti-Trump article published by the Times; saying he wanted to know if the individual obtained a high-level security clearance.
“We’re going to take a look at what he had, what he gave, what he’s talking about, also where he is right now,” Trump told reporters Friday.
“I think it is national security. I would say Jeff should be investigating who the author of that piece is because I really believe it is national security,” he added.
The President recently referred to the op-ed piece as a “disgrace,” saying the New York Times stooped “very low” by publishing the anonymous author.
“For somebody to do this is very low, and I think, journalistically and from many different standpoints, and maybe even from the standpoint of national security, we’ll find out about that,” said Trump.
