Government ‘Getting Close’ to Finding Pentagon Documents Leaker: Biden

In his recent statement in Dublin, President Joe Biden revealed that the US government is getting close to identifying the individual who allegedly leaked highly classified military documents online. The President told reporters that there is a full-blown investigation going on with the intelligence community and the Justice Department, and they are getting closer to finding the leaker. However, he did not provide any more details, stating that he does not have an answer at the moment.

When asked about his level of concern over the matter, President Biden added that he is not concerned about the leak, but is concerned that it happened. He further added that there is nothing contemporaneous that he is aware of that’s of great consequence.

The Washington Post recently published a report claiming that the leaker was a “young, charismatic gun enthusiast” who claimed to work on a military base and had shared the classified materials with a Discord chat group. According to the report, the leaker founded the private group called “Thug Shaker Central,” and identified himself only as “OG.”

However, the source who spoke with The Washington Post claimed to know the leaker’s identity and location but refused to disclose either to law enforcement.

The leaked documents were highly classified defense and intelligence information about the Ukraine war and other matters and were posted on multiple websites, including Twitter, Telegram, and 4chan. The authenticity of the documents cannot be confirmed at this time, as per the Epoch Times review of the materials.

White House’s Comments

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that officials believe some of the documents were altered. “We know that some of them have been doctored,” he said at a press briefing. “I won’t go into details beyond that.”
