Defense Secretary Austin: My Office Not Suspected in Leak

There are no indications any employees from the Office of the Secretary of Defense are being investigated for the leak of U.S. intelligence about Israel's preparations to strike Iran, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.

"There's no OSD official being named as a part of this investigation," Austin said while speaking to reporters in Rome.

The FBI said Tuesday it was investigating the public disclosure of a pair of highly classified documents describing Israel's preparations for a retaliatory strike on Iran, the bureau said on Tuesday.

Social media posts, without evidence, have singled out a U.S. Defense Department employee as being under investigation for the leak.
