Senate Republicans are pressing the FBI to investigate whether Colin Kahl, the Pentagon’s top policy official, disclosed classified information to the public, according to a May 22 letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
The senators said their concerns have grown after Kahl reportedly leaked classified information about Chinese spy balloons to “deflect blame about the Biden administration’s mishandling” of a similar spy balloon in U.S. airspace in February.
