WASHINGTON - The person who leaked US classified documents prompting a national security investigation is a gun enthusiast in his 20s who worked on a military base, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing fellow members of an online chat group.
The Post based its report, which did not name the person, on interviews with two members of the Discord chat group.Discord said in a statement earlier on Wednesday that it was cooperating with law enforcement. The Department of Justice opened a formal criminal probe last week after the matter was referred by the Pentagon, which is assessing the damage done by what may be the most damaging release of classified US information in years.The person was described by one of the Post’s sources as being in his early to mid-20s, and was looked up to by members of the group.
