What we know about the major Pentagon intelligence leak
The Biden administration is scrambling to assess and contain the fallout from a major leak of classified Pentagon documents that has rattled US officials, members of Congress and key allies in recent days.
The Justice Department is investigating how the trove of highly sensitive documents, which include details about how the US spies on friends and foes as well as intelligence on the war in Ukraine, ended up on social media sites.
But, to date, little is known about who may have been responsible for the leak or how some of the nation’s most tightly guarded secrets ended up on social media sites.

Biden Spy Scandal Revealed by ‘Pentagon Papers’ Leak Inflames Diplomatic Relations with South Korea
“When reports emerged late last year that South Korea had agreed to sell artillery shells to help the United States replenish its stockpiles, it insisted that their ‘end user’ should be the U.S. military,” the report states. “But internally, top aides to President Yoon Suk Yeol were worried that their American ally would divert them to Ukraine.”
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s top foreign advisers were “mired in concerns that the U.S. would not be the end user if South Korea were to comply with a U.S. request for ammunition.”
