US investigating who's to blame for Ukraine intel leak: White House

U.S. President Joe Biden was briefed on the leak of classified U.S. military documents last week, White House spokesperson John Kirby said on Monday.

During Monday's briefing, Kirby said some documents appear to be "directly related to national security concerns and intelligence."

According to Kirby the U.S. government knows some documents have been doctored, but he declined to speak to the validity of what was leaked.

U.S. national security agencies are reviewing how they share their most sensitive secrets inside the U.S. government, and dealing with the diplomatic fallout from the release of dozens of confidential documents, three U.S. officials said.

Investigators are also working to determine what person or group might have had the ability and motivation to release the intelligence reports, said one of the officials. The leaks could be the most damaging release of U.S. government information since the 2013 publication of thousands of documents on WikiLeaks.
