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."
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX who's gone all-in on Republican Donald Trump's candidacy for the White House, is pledging to give away $1 million a day to voters for signing his political action committee's petition backing the Constitution. The offer is sparking questions among election experts about the plan's legality.
After midnight on July 6, Sonya Massey called 911 to report a prowler. When sheriff's deputies responded, she answered the door in her nightgown, thanking and welcoming them into her home in Springfield, Illinois. But two minutes later, Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson took aim at Massey's face and fired a fatal gunshot, killing her in her kitchen. The morning prior, her mother Donna had warned police that her daughter was in the middle of a mental health crisis.
