Rep Peter King wants feds to probe intelligence leaks to media

Rep Peter King (R-NY) says lawmakers should investigate leaks of US intelligence to the media exposing Russian interference in the 2016 election. “This is not a trivial matter,” he said. "This is supposed to be top secret, classified information, which they won’t even give to the [House] Intelligence Committee but they’re leaking to the press. “That’s what’s really disgraceful about this,” Rep King added, noting how most lawmakers had not seen a classified report on Russia’s election meddling. "I think there should be a federal investigation into how that was leaked out.”
