Pending the announcement of the results of the official investigation, the official explained that the intelligence and armed services committees in Congress have been briefed on this matter, especially because the suspect has a “top-level secret clearance that gives her access to highly classified information.”
The leak of classified documents is also being investigated by the FBI. “The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and is working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community,” it said in a statement. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment.”
