Donald Trump, Kristi Noem want to "go after" CNN over Iran, ICEBlock App [View all]
President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the Trump administration wants to "go after and prosecute" CNN over a recent leak about the U.S. bombing of Iran and its coverage of the ICEBlock app.
"We're gonna actually go after them and prosecute them with the partnership of [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] if we can," Noem said during a tour of a new immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades that's been nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz." "We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute."
Trump followed, in part: "They may be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran."
A CNN spokesperson told Newsweek via email on Tuesday: "This is an app that is publicly available to any iPhone user who wants to download it. There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN."
