TRUMP SAYS GOVERNMENT LEAKERS SHOULD BE SHOT

What happened: President Donald Trump said government leakers should be shot during a campaign rally at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport in Bullhead City, Arizona on Wednesday, Oct. Why it matters: The remarks arrive amid a broader enforcement campaign against leaks, including polygraphs and nondisclosure agreements for federal employees, and follow disclosures about Operation Midnight Hammer. Trump also compared journalists to leakers, as the DOJ ordered four New York Times reporters to testify in a leak investigation, a subpoena later withdrawn.
