Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has revealed that 11 individuals are under investigation for illegally leaking classified intelligence to the media, ABC News reported Wednesday. The probe is part of a broader Trump administration crackdown on unauthorized disclosures.
Politicization of our intelligence and leaking classified information puts our nation’s security at risk and must end. Those who leak classified information will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

The announcement comes just days after Gabbard said three intelligence officials were referred to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution. According to ABC, Gabbard also confirmed that 67 individuals have had their security clearances revoked, including high-profile figures such as former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently expanded prosecutorial tools available to track down leakers, including the reinstatement of subpoenas and search warrants targeting suspected sources. The measures signal an aggressive shift in how the administration is addressing media leaks, with Gabbard promising accountability at the highest levels of intelligence.
