(FOX) Former Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning on Sunday accused the Trump administration of clearly" wanting to go after journalists by using the FBI and the Department of Justice. Manning made the comments during a Sunday appearance on CNNs Reliable Sources" where he was asked whether Julian Assanges arrest last month at the Ecuadorian embassy in London represented a threat to press freedom. Manning surmised it was part of the Trump administrations broader goal of prosecuting journalists. I think that ultimately what they really want is to go after journalists. This administration clearly wants to go after journalists Manning said. If the Trump administration gets its way Manning added I think were going to see national security journalists and a lot of disruptive processes were probably going to see indictments and charges."
