The Defense Department launched an internal probe over the weekend to determine how a trove of highly-classified intelligence linked to the ongoing war in Ukraine ended up published on social media sites and what should be done about it. The Pentagon inquiry will run alongside an ongoing criminal investigation by the Justice Department into the leak.
Chris Meagher, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s top public relations aide, told reporters on Monday that several offices within the Pentagon are part of the effort, including the Office of General Counsel, the Joint Staff and the legislative affairs office.
