Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak

The Trump administration will limit the sharing of classified information with Congress in the wake of a high-profile document leak, the White House has confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

President Donald Trump maintains that last week’s Iran strikes totally obliterated that country’s nuclear program, but his claim has been undermined by a leaked internal document suggesting the nuclear program was set back by only a few months.

Trump’s White House has responded to the leak with a full-court press, pushing back furiously against the reports, opening investigations into the leak, personally attacking the reporters involved, and now limiting how much information it shares with Congress.

A White House spokesperson also pointed to statements press secretary Karoline Leavitt made Wednesday afternoon about an FBI investigation into the matter.

“I am told by the FBI that the leak already is being investigated, and it absolutely should be,” she said on Fox News. “Because this was a top secret intelligence analysis that very few people in the United States government had access to see.” (Read more from “Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak” HERE)
