Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has referred two individuals to the Justice Department, accusing them of leaking classified information to major news outlets. This follows a broader crackdown on leaks by the Trump administration, with Gabbard promising further referrals. She asserts that leaking jeopardizes national security and is politically motivated. Additionally, the Pentagon and Homeland Security are investigating potential leaks and considering polygraph tests. Gabbard's assertions underscore the administration's commitment to transparency and accountability in the intelligence community.
Gabbard vowed to hold leakers "accountable to the fullest extent of the law" and criticized the politicization of intelligence that jeopardizes national security.
The move is widely seen as a warning against other potential leakers.
Top brass in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security have opened internal probes into leaking and musing about using polygraphs to identify leakers.
Gabbard stated, "Those who leak classified information will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
