The Biden administration is trying to manage the fallout from leaked classified intelligence documents that started circulating online in the past week.
Photos of pages of paper documents that appear to have been unfolded have appeared on social media, and some of the materials contain details from daily updates provided to senior leaders at the Pentagon about operations in Ukraine, as well as other intelligence updates, according to a Pentagon official.
Asked by reporters Monday if the threat to national security has been contained, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby responded,"We don't know. We truly don't know." Chris Meagher, assistant to the defense secretary for public affairs, told reporters Monday the"photos appear to show documents similar in format to those used to provide daily updates to our senior leaders on Ukraine and Russia related operations, as well as other intelligence updates."
Meagher declined to confirm the authenticity of specific documents. But Kirby said at least a portion of the material appeared to be altered.
