Republican senator: 62 leaks threatened national security in early days of Trump administration
by Daniel Chaitin | May 31, 2020 07:19 PM
A top Republican senator called the number of leaks during the first several months of President Trump's tenure "completely out of control."
Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo that there were dozens of leaks that threatened national security in those days and argued they were part of a scheme to "frustrate and sabotage" the Trump administration.
The leaks in that time period have taken on renewed significance as Attorney General William Barr has appointed multiple U.S. attorneys to review politically sensitive investigations, particularly the Russia investigation and the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. As Democrats and former Obama administration officials shrug off what they have pegged as a toothless, manufactured controversy, Trump and his allies are pushing claims under the "Obamagate" banner that former President Barack Obama and his team schemed to undermine the Trump administration.
"A leak a day, 125 leaks in the first 126 days, and 62 of these leaks threatened national security, by President Obama's own definition of that, because they were concerned about that as well," Johnson said on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures.

U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting an inquiry into whether there was any criminal misconduct by intelligence and national security officials during the Russia investigation, is reportedly looking into those leaks.
Johnson said these leaks and others helped to set up the "Russia narrative, first of Russia helping Trump and then, all of a sudden, the Trump campaign colluding with Russia, which set up a special counsel, even though, by the end of January, the FBI knew full, full well that there was nothing to that hoax, that they still allowed a special counsel to be set up in May of that year."
"This is the corruption of that process. And, Maria, from what I have seen, I really do believe that there was an effort underway from the day after the election. It actually started before that, but really kicked into high gear the day after the election, to sabotage this administration," he said. "And look what — look what it resulted in, in an impeachment trial as well. So there's an awful lot to be uncovered. There's an awful lot the American people need to understand."
