Sessions Declares War On Leakers, Threatens Press With “Criminal Action”

President Donald Trump’s strategy of publicly shaming Attorney General Jeff Sessions to force him to aggressively pursue the leakers who have been a persistent source of agitation for his administration appears to have worked. After announcing during a press conference last month that he wanted Sessions ‘to go full-bore’ in his pursuit of leakers, the ‘beleaguered’ attorney general appears to be doing exactly that.
During a live press briefing on Friday that was tantamount to a declaration of war, Sessions said the Department of Justice will be cracking down on leaks of classified information, and is considering subpoenaing journalists to force them to reveal their sources in the Trump administration.
