Trump accuses Democrats of leaking intel assessment of Iran strikes: ‘They should be prosecuted!’ Steven Nelson, Ryan King / NEW YORK POST

It’s unclear if Trump has evidence pointing to a culprit as the FBI investigates the Tuesday leak of the Defense Intelligence Agency assessment drafted shortly after the strike that said Iran’s nuke development may only have been set back months.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said shortly before Trump’s claim that Democrats in Congress may have been responsible — though she too described no specific evidence and said no conclusions had been made.
