'Find the leakers within the FBI itself'; Trump blames FBI for failing to stop media leaks

WASHINGTON — If the FBI is serious about stopping media leaks, they should look a little closer to home, U.S. President Donald Trump says.

He said the information being reported could have a “devastating effect” on the country.

Trump made the remarks in a tweet early Friday. His tweet follows reports that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus had asked a top FBI official to dispute media reports that Trump’s campaign advisers were frequently in touch with Russian intelligence agents during the election.

Trump writes, “The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security ’leakers’ that have permeated our government for a long time. They can’t even find the leakers within the FBI itself.”

He adds, “classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW.”
