Rand Paul: All leakers must be found

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said that those leaking information need to be found.

“We just can’t have everybody in the intelligence community, they have such power to suck up every bit of every transmission, every communication we ever made, we can’t just have them willy-nilly releasing that to the public,” Paul said on “Fox & Friends.”

“All of them have to be found, and I guarantee there’s a paper or a computer trail of who released these documents and who released these conversations.”

{mosads}President Trump and his aides often rail on those leaking information to the media or the public, an issue the Trump administration has been struggling with since the president assumed office.

The Department of Justice announced Monday it is charging Reality Leigh Winner, a federal government contractor with top security clearance, for leaking classified materials to a news outlet.
