White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly rebuked CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, accusing her of spreading "false narratives" in a report about leaked U.S. intelligence on strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Leavitt’s comments came just after President Trump called for Bertrand’s firing, escalating tensions between the press and the administration.
CNN and anchor Jake Tapper defended Bertrand, stating her reporting was both accurate and in the public interest.
The clash underscores growing hostility between the Trump-aligned White House and mainstream media outlets.
