Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made Justice Department referrals against two individuals whom she’s accused of leaking classified material to the press, as the Trump administration pursues a crackdown across agencies. NY Post politics reporter Ryan King shares this story.
Gabbard, 44, alleged that one of the individuals handed classified material to the Washington Post and the other gave sensitive information to the New York Times.
“A third criminal referral is on its way,” Gabbard said in an announcement Wednesday, accusing the third alleged leaker of illegally sending material to the Washington Post.
Specific material that had been leaked is still unclear, but the move is widely seen as a warning to other potential leakers against handing classified material to the media.
Top brass in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security have similarly opened internal probes into leaking, with some officials musing about using polygraphs to identify leakers.
