The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced on Monday that to support polygraphent tests to support the investigation in order to identify the source of LECKS that will be based on the law enforcement agency.

“We can confirm that the FBI has started with the implementation of polygraphent test to identify the source of information leakage within the office,” said the office of the office's public affairs in a statement to Reuters.

Donald Trump's administration has had people who have expired information to journalists since he returned to office in January.

Last week, the US Ministry of Justice made it easier for the public prosecutors who examined leaks for the news media in order to collect records and statements from journalists.

Defense Minister Pete Hegseth warned of possible law enforcement of former high -ranking consultants who were released to the media during an investigation into Lecks from Pentagon information. After the examination has been completed, evidence would be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Hegseth's memo, in which the examination was requested, left the possibility of using polygraph.

Tulsi Gabard, the US director of the National Secret Service, promised in March to “aggressively pursue the recent leaks” in order to fold them into account for non -authorized disclosures.

Last week Gabard said she referred two leaks from the secret service group to the Ministry of Justice, adding that a third criminal transfer was on the move.

Gabard had also said that she was ready to work with the Ministry of Justice and the FBI in order to examine, terminate and follow the leaks, which she called “criminals”.
