Breaking via NYT: Trump told staff from the U.S. Mission to the United Nations that he wants to know who provided info to the whistleblower, saying that whoever did so was "close to a spy" and that "in the old days," spies were dealt with differently.

"The remark stunned people in the audience, according to a person briefed on what took place, who had notes of what the president said."

"The event was closed ... and during his remarks, the president called the news media 'scum' in addition to labeling them as crooked." https://t.co/GkbOdQusOl
