JTN: New York Times military journalist David Philipps called out his employer in a since-deleted tweet that said the paper would have protected the identity of the Pentagon leaker had he given the information to the Times.

“The NYT worked feverishly to find the identity of the guy leaking TS docs on Discord. Ironically, if they same guy had leaked to the NYT, we’d be working feverishly to conceal it,” Philipps tweeted Friday with a link to his paper’s story about Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who faces charges under the Espionage Act for allegedly leaking sensitive Pentagon documents online.
