Why I helped expose ambassador's embarrassing cables: Journalist, 19, behind Trump scoop comes forward to reveal his motivation and fears he’s being targeted by security services

Journalist Steven Edginton, 19, fears he is being targeted by security services

* The person who leaked the explosive Washington Files was his trusted source

* In April, he began working as a digital strategist for Nigel Farage's Brexit Party

* Mr Edginton says his story was not a 'Brexiteer plot to topple Sir Kim Darroch'


I spent several days mulling over what to do before contacting Isabel Oakeshott, a highly experienced journalist with whom I have worked.

We developed the story together before providing it to The Mail on Sunday. Given the possible controversy, we decided to leave my name out of it.

I was having dinner in Pizza Express with a friend when Isabel informed me that our story would be on the front page the next morning. Like any journalist would be, I was excited and proud that my story was about to get such prominence.
