FBI to leakers: We will find and prosecute you
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe has issued a warning to leakers of classified information – that the government will find and prosecute them.
“Leaking of classified information is a federal crime and it is one that we have the jurisdiction to investigate, and I assure you that we will do so in every single case,” McCabe told Representative John Culberson (R-Texas), while testifying at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing about the FBI’s budget on Wednesday.
Culberson had asked the acting FBI director about Reality Winner, the 25-year-old federal contractor who was charged this month with leaking a top-secret National Security Agency memo accusing Russia of carrying out a cyberattack on a US voting software supplier. The document does not provide the underlying “raw” intelligence for the assessment.
