Not sure this is so much about Trump as the whole thing being out of control. This doesn't hurt Trump that much if anything it helps him shift the focus on his own crisis to the question of whose leaking the information which they've been trying to do unsuccessfully for weeks.

They could try that, doubt it would work. The Americans take freedom of the press very seriously. It would be something that almost certainly would end up at the Supreme Court if it even got that far.

The investigation of the leaker would have to be done by the government internally.
