Trump threatens media with jail over leak about downed airman

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened an unspecified media outlet with jail time if it does not reveal the person who leaked information about a U.S. military pilot who was missing in Iran.

"We're going to go to the media company that released it, and we're going to say, 'National security. Give it up or go to jail,'" Trump told a news conference.
