Trump, GOP lawmakers eye 'illegal' leaks in wake of Flynn resignation [View all]
In the wake of Michael Flynns resignation as national security adviser, President Trump and Republican allies on Capitol Hill are turning their attention to the potentially illegal leaks that revealed Flynn's politically fatal discussions with a Russian diplomat and other sensitive details from inside the administration.
Fox News first reported Monday night that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., wants the FBI to conduct an assessment of recent media leaks.
The president, after accepting Flynns resignation overnight, tweeted Tuesday morning that, The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?
Flynn echoed that point. Asked Tuesday morning whether the leaks were targeted, coordinated and possibly a violation of the law, Flynn told Fox News: Yes, yes and yes.
