The hunt for leakers that was initiated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in August of last year yielded a major arrest on Oct. 16, with the apprehension of a Treasury Department employee on charges that she leaked financial intelligence documents on various subjects of the Russia investigation to a reporter at BuzzFeed News.

Natalie Edwards, a senior advisor at the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), began leaking the documents to an unidentified reporter in October last year and continued to do so until this month, according to court documents.
