HOUSE OF REPS/LEAKS: “Rep. Trey Gowdy on Thursday [6-22-17] warned his fellow lawmakers about leaking information from closed briefings.
Leaking will result in ‘a chilling effect on other witnesses who want to share classified, sensitive information when it makes its way to the headlines before the transcript’s even dry,’ the South Carolina Republican told CNN’s Erin Burnett on ‘OutFront’ Thursday.
Gowdy confirmed to Burnett Thursday that Coats met with the House intelligence committee. He said there were eight people in the room during the meeting, but did not elaborate on what was discussed.
Instead, he warned those present against sharing classified information.”
