Leavitt Attacks CNN Reporter for Iran Intel Leak Story
- On June 27, 2025, the White House's chief spokesperson harshly criticized CNN journalist Natasha Bertrand for her coverage of leaked intelligence regarding U.S. military actions targeting Iran's nuclear program.
- The dispute arose after Bertrand and colleagues published a DIA assessment showing the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months, contradicting the president's claim of obliteration.
- Leavitt accused Bertrand of pushing a false narrative used by Washington insiders opposed to Trump and called the leak illegal, while CNN stood fully behind Bertrand's reporting.
- Leavitt claimed that the reporter had been exploited by individuals within the administration who oppose Donald Trump to promote misleading and false stories, and she insisted that the person responsible for leaking the information should be prosecuted and imprisoned.
- The controversy intensified ongoing political tensions and prompted FBI investigation into the leak, while administration officials defended the strikes as a major success despite the DIA findings.
