Senate Republicans are issuing a national security warning as the Trump administration is facing an alarming amount of media leaks.
A report released Thursday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chairman says they’re now taking place about once a day.
It shows at least 125 stories with leaked information were found between the president’s inauguration and May 25th.
This is nearly seven times faster than Presidents Obama and Bush in their first 126 days in office.
The report adds the leaks exposed operations against enemies, and caused a diplomatic incident with an ally.
