  • The Department of Defense plans to use polygraph tests to aid in investigating "recent unauthorized disclosures of national security information," according to a Friday memo.

The Pentagon has initiated an investigation into a significant leak of classified documents that surfaced on social media platforms, revealing sensitive U.S. and NATO intelligence on the Ukraine war and other national security issues. The investigation, led by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the Department of Justice, will employ various methods including polygraph tests to identify the source of the leak. The documents, which appeared on sites like Discord, Twitter, and Telegram, contain details about Ukrainian military vulnerabilities and U.S. intelligence assessments of allies. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has emphasized the seriousness with which the government is treating this breach, aiming to understand the full scope of the exposure and to prevent future leaks. The investigation's outcome could have implications for national security and international relations.
