Donald Trump has urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate who wrote a scathing article that raised questions over his fitness for office earlier this week in the New York Times.
He said on Air Force One on route to a campaign event in North Dakota that it was about ‘national security’.

The paper said in a statement that this showed the necessity for the anonymous nature of the article.
