Gun enthusiast in 20s behind top-secret U.S. intelligence leak: WaPo

The person who leaked classified U.S. documents is a gun enthusiast in his 20s who shared the information with a group on the instant messaging platform Discord, according to the Washington Post. The group consisted of about two dozen men and young boys who shared a "mutual love of guns, military gear and God." The Department of Justice opened a formal criminal probe last week after the matter was referred by the Pentagon. The release of sensitive documents on various platforms is being investigated to assess the damage to national security and relations with allies and other countries.
