Biden Expresses Confidence in Identifying Intel Leaker.
President Biden suggests that the US government is close to identifying the leaker responsible for the disclosure of sensitive government secrets posted to social media. The leaker is described as a lonely young man and gun enthusiast who posted sensitive national security secrets in an online group of acquaintances. The Pentagon has begun to limit who across the government receives its highly classified daily intelligence briefs following the leak. The criminal investigation is being led by the FBI’s Washington field office, including a team of counter-intelligence investigators experienced in hunting leaks.
