The sources show only that Trump made this allegation at an Arizona rally; none independently confirms or refutes that the New York Times or CNN published B-2 departure and arrival times. The extracted claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage, so it is graded on the sources, which do not address the leak itself.

What we found

Context. Multiple outlets report Trump's October 14, 2026 rally remarks that the B-2 departure time (12:07 from Missouri) was leaked to the New York Times and CNN, but these reports repeat his account rather than independently document it.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Context. IANS reports Trump did not identify the alleged leaker or provide evidence showing who disclosed the information, and did not say whether any investigation had identified a suspect.[11]

Context. The AP and NYT coverage of the June 2025 strike describes the B-2 mission and decoy flights but says nothing about any news outlet publishing the departure or arrival times.[1][4]

Context. The Snopes and Lead Stories pages returned by search concern unrelated CNN and New York Times claims and do not address this leak allegation.[2][3]

Context. No source found in the provided set confirms or disputes that the New York Times or CNN reported these B-2 timings, so the central assertion has no authoritative corroboration or dismissal.[5][11]
