Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security.

So what happened?

CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.

But here’s the problem: that claim completely contradicted the official military assessment, which stated the strikes were a resounding success.

Senator Rubio and Pete Hegseth shredded the media and the likely leakers for pushing a false narrative that not only undermines President Trump but also puts US national security at risk.

Watch these two powerful clips:

The FBI launched a probe into the fake news leak.

Daily Caller:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is launching a probe into a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report leaked to CNN assessing damage from President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday.

Now here’s where the story takes a turn. Enter Natasha Bertrand… CNN’s Pentagon and national security correspondent. But she’s a lot more than that.

Bertrand has been called a Deep State mouthpiece and a key player in pushing the Russia hoax, the infamous “pee tape” lie, and a long list of other intelligence-backed psy-ops, like the Hunter Biden laptop coverup and the “51 spies who lied.” But now, she’s got a new gig. Ms. Bertrand is the alleged leaker.

Press Secretary Levitt called her out by name.

Rapid Response:

@PressSec: “We have seen this playbook run before… leaked bits and pieces of an intel assessment to push a false narrative. And it’s to the same reporter, I will add —
@NatashaBertrand of@CNN— who has done this in the past. In 2020, it was Natasha Bertrand who had 51 intelligence analysts falsely lie to her… that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.”

Dem leaders quickly fell in line, backing up the bogus story:

Now, President Trump is rightfully calling for Ms. Bertrand to be fired.

Of course, CNN doubled down on their shaky story and on their so-called star reporter, Natasha Bertrand.

So what happened? Why was it leaked?

Well, now we know. The so-called “assessment” being passed around was junk—completely lacking in credibility. It was never going to be officially published because it wouldn’t hold up under real scrutiny.

Which means the only way this fake narrative could see the light of day was to leak it straight to the regime’s favorite cable news source: CNN.

That’s exactly why it landed in Natasha Bertrand’s lap. No ethical journalist would touch it. But she would, and that’s what makes Natasha the Deep State Darling that she is.

Journalist Molly Hemingway called out just how flimsy this so-called report really was.

But again, this shouldn’t surprise anybody, since Natasha is the Deep State’s go-to girl. And speaking of that, take a look at this reel, highlighting Natasha’s biggest fake news hits:
