Leavitt pushes back against report of FBI warning of Iran threat to California

“They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on *unverified* intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story! WHY?” she said.

The Hill has reached out to ABC News for comment.

Leavitt was responding to reporting from the network that stated the FBI warned California police departments that Iran could retaliate against the U.S.’s military campaign deploying drones to the West Coast.
