So much classified information is being leaked from the FBI that the Justice Department created a new counterintelligence division to address the issue.
Records obtained by The Young Turks show the anti-leak department was created during the first year of President Trump’s administration.
“By law, the FBI is the lead federal agency responsible for the investigation of violations of the espionage laws of the United States,” reads the “Functions and Mission Statement” section of a document dated Nov. 10, 2017.
“The complicated nature of — and rapid growth in — unauthorized disclosure and media leak threats and investigations has necessitated the establishment of a new Unit,” the document reads.
