ODNI Tulsi Gabbard criminally referred two intel officials to the Justice Department for leaking to The New York Times and the Washington Post.
And a third criminal referral is “on its way,” Fox News reported.
An ODNI official told Fox News that they are “aggressively investigating other leaks.”
Fox News reported:
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard referred two intelligence community professionals to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution Wednesday over alleged leaks of classified information, Fox News Digital has learned.
An ODNI official told Fox News Digital that the intelligence community professionals allegedly leaked classified information to the Washington Post and the New York Times. A third criminal referral is “on its way” to the DOJ.
The official told Fox News Digital that intelligence community professionals should take the move “as a warning.”
“Politicization of our intelligence and leaking classified information puts our nation’s security at risk and must end,” Gabbard told Fox News Digital. “Those who leak classified information will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
“Today, I referred two intelligence community leakers to the Department of Justice for criminal referral, with a third criminal referral on its way, which includes the recent illegal leak to the Washington Post,” Gabbard said. “These deep-state criminals leaked classified information for partisan political purposes to undermine President Trump’s agenda.”
The Trump Administration is not putting up with leakers this time around.
Last month DHS Chief Kristi Noem said her investigators have identified two leakers within the Department of Homeland Security and are preparing to refer them to the Justice Department for felony prosecutions.
“These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison,” Noem said.
Last week three Pentagon officials who were caught leaking to the media were fired.
