translated from Spanish: Trump calls on Justice Department to unmask the author of article

US President, Donald Trump, on Friday urged the Department d (e) justice to investigate who wrote the anonymous opinion article in The New York Times against, and said that it is “evaluating” the possibility of taking legal action against the newspaper.
Speaking to reporters on the presidential plane Air Force One, Trump said that the U.S. Attorney general, Jeff Sessions, should use their resources to unmask the senior official who drafted the critical stand with the President.
“Jeff should be investigating who is the author of this article, because I really believe that it is (a matter of) national security”, said Trump, who did not rule out that you can submit his team to polygraph tests to find the author.
“People have suggested it. (Republican Senator) RAND Paul, who I respect, said this morning that you should arrange with lie-detector tests,”added.
“Ultimately, this sick person’s name will come to light,” he said.
The opinion article published Wednesday by a “senior official of the US Government” which has only revealed his identity to the editorial team of the journal, speaks of an effort “resistance” internal by a group of officials.
The President recalled that the vast majority of his main advisers have denied having written the Gallery, so it “doesn’t seem that (the author) is a person of very high level” in his Government.
“We are going to take a look at what (the author of the Tribune) had, what they delivered, what is talking about, and where it is now,” said Trump.
He stressed that it does not want the official who turned against her “is in a high level meeting on China, Russia or North Korea”, assuming that you have permission to access this type of meetings.
Trump returned to insinuate that “perhaps” the New York Times invented the article, and said that it is “reviewing” the possibility of taking legal action against the newspaper.
Asked if he trusts the people surrounding him in the White House, Trump said yes.
“But what I do now is look good the room, say hello if I don’t know someone, but everyone who is in the big meetings with me” has denied writing the article, he added.
“We have a White House really well directed, it works very well, it is a well-oiled machine”, said.
