Daily Mail: Trump launches all-out war on his own intelligence agencies as he says malicious NSA and FBI leakers are 'illegally' giving out classified information to reporters 'like candy'

* The president said Wednesday that malicious leakers inside the NSA and FBI were responsible for a tempest that led to Gen. Mike Flynn's dismissal
* 'The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy,' he tweeted
* Trump claims the New York Times and Washington Post are getting material 'illegally given' to them
* In a jab at his predecessor, Trump wrote: 'Crimea was TAKEN by Russia during the Obama Administration. Was Obama too soft on Russia?'

Donald Trump is pushing back against a growing chorus of suggestions that he and his aides had improper contact with the Russian government during his presidential campaign, saying malicious leakers inside the U.S. Intelligence Community touched off the scandal by talking to reporters.

'The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American!' he tweeted.

The president faces accusations that he was needlessly sympathetic to Moscow, along with renewed suspicions that his foreign policy was informed by threats of blackmail from Vladimir Putin's government.
