Speculation is mounting over which journalists US President Donald Trump may have been referring to after he criticized media coverage of a reported downed F-15 fighter jet over Iran during the White House press conference on Monday.

One such speculation has fueled the debate after a post by journalist Andrew Feinberg suggested that Trump's remarks could be directed at reporters Peter Doocy, Tara Copp, and Alex Horton.

However, there has been no official confirmation naming specific journalists, and the claims remain speculative.

Trump criticized media coverage of the F-15 incident, accusing reporters of spreading premature information about the downing of a US fighter jet over Iran and the missing pilot.

He said that the news broadcast threatened the airman by giving Iran the information, and that his government was actively investigating the "leaker" who gave the media information about the missing F-15 pilot.
