Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox’s Tucker Carlson on Thursday that sometime next week, there would be a press conference to announce charges on criminal leaks to the press.
“Some people need to go to jail,” Sessions said. “If we can make cases, they are going to jail.”
Along with Sessions, White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci has made it a central theme of his short time in office to weed out leakers from the communications office.
Speaking on Fox & Friends on July 26, he said he had been given the green light to fire anyone in the communications office who was found leaking.
“You’re either going to stop leaking or you’re going to get fired,” he said.
He seemed to take that a step further on Thursday by threatening to go to the Department of Justice and FBI for what he said was a felony charge for leaking a financial disclosure form, which Politico published.
