The chairmen of the House Armed Services and House Intelligence committees are demanding answers from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin after a major leak of top secret military documents.

“The world has watched as classified national security secrets leaked widely and precipitously across the internet. The unauthorized disclosures appear extensive,” House Armed Service Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Michael Turner (R-Ohio) wrote in an April 18 letter addressed to Austin obtained by the Epoch Times.
