After months of damaging national security leaks from inside the U.S. government, which came to a head Wednesday in light of the Manchester suicide bombing, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is vowing to end the spreading of classified information.
“I share the president's deep concern and talked to Home Secretary Rudd yesterday about this matter. These leaks cannot be tolerated and we will make every effort to put an end to it. We have already initiated appropriate steps to address these rampant leaks that undermine our national security,” Sessions said Thursday afternoon.
Sessions' statement comes just hours after President Trump released a statement of his own after British intelligence services stopped sharing information with U.S. intelligence services about the Manchester attack due to sensitive information being published in the press.
