The White House continued to publicly attack CNN journalist Natasha Bertrand on Thursday for reporting on a preliminary intelligence report that claimed the United States did not obliterate Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying she should be “ashamed of herself.”

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt spent nearly two minutes ranting about Bertrand during her White House press briefing, accusing the CNN reporter of publishing a “false narrative” and having a history of reporting false information.
