US President Donald Trump said people who disclose sensitive government information 'should be shot' before turning his criticism towards journalists during a campaign rally in Arizona, raising fresh questions about his administration's approach to leaks and press scrutiny.
Speaking in Bullhead City on Wednesday, 14 October, Trump linked his remarks to what he described as the disclosure of military operation timings to news outlets. He also accused reporters of spreading false information and fabricating sources, without providing evidence to substantiate his broader allegations.
