Washington — President Biden is "deeply concerned" by the possible leak of U.S. intelligence documents regarding Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran, which the Pentagon is investigating, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Monday.
Kirby told reporters the Biden administration can't yet say if the classified information that became public over the weekend on the messaging app Telegram was leaked or the result of a hack, but the president will be "actively monitoring" the progress of the investigative efforts.
"I know the Department of Defense is investigating this, and I'm sure that as they work through that, they'll try to determine the manner in which they did become public," Kirby said. "We're deeply concerned, and the president remains deeply concerned, about any leakage of classified information in the public domain. That is not supposed to happen, and it's unacceptable when it does."
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that the U.S. food supply is still "one of the safest in the world," in the wake of a number of foodborne disease outbreaks affecting items ranging from organic carrots to deli meats to McDonald's Quarter Pounders. E. coli, listeria and other contaminants have sickened thousands of people and forced a number of recalls in recent months.
We just had another election with a clear and verifiable victor, overseen by hundreds of thousands of election officials. Those public servants have suffered years of harassment, and despite their successes, are still being accused of taking part in a massive and impossible conspiracy — a conspiracy led by the party out of power to steal an election and cover up all evidence.
