Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for former President Donald Trump, stated that individuals responsible for leaking a classified intelligence report on Trump’s Iran strikes to CNN should face jail time. She confirmed that the FBI is actively investigating the source of the leak. Separately, the FBI has initiated a grand conspiracy probe examining alleged weaponization of government agencies and the Department of Justice, spanning from the 2016 Russia collusion investigation to recent actions by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Senator Ron Johnson has publicly called for accountability in relation to this probe, describing those involved as criminals. The investigation also involves scrutiny of a classified annex containing intelligence on Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch that was never previously examined. Discussions continue about the potential declassification of related materials, which some say has been a persistent issue for the former president over the past decade. The probe’s origins are linked to former FBI Director James Comey’s 2016 reinterpretation of the Espionage Act.
