A group of Republican senators is demanding to know why the White House continues to leak to the press highly classified information that “stands in direct contradiction to the information briefed to congressional oversight committees,” according to a letter sent Friday to President Barack Obama.
The U.S. Attorney assigned to investigate recent leaks of classified information from the White House is an Obama donor, campaign finance records show.
Buried in the second-to-last paragraph of a New Republic article about renowned secrecy of the Supreme Court is a startling accusation from Harvard law professor and former Supreme Court clerk Jack Goldsmith: The Obama administration uses leaks to shape the president’s image as a tough, decisive leader.
The Obama administration continues to rebuff Republican calls for a special counsel to investigate the recent spate of national security leaks, despite Obama’s enthusiasm for a thorough investigation of scandals during the Bush administration.
