Sessions: Officials holding briefing next week on intel leaks

[Swordsmyth]

The Trump administration plans to hold a press conference next week on efforts to combat intelligence leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions (http://thehill.com/people/jeff-sessions) indicated Thursday.
"I have not been happy with the past prosecutions and investigations of criminal leaks," Sessions told Fox News's Tucker Carlson when asked about intelligence leaks.
"We’ve already taken a number of steps ... We’ll have a press conference next week about it, but we already have multiples, numbers of prosecutions compared to last year at this time," he said.
"We’re stepping up those cases. It cannot continue."
Sessions said his department would be "more aggressive" in pursuing prosecution, saying, "People need to go to jail."

FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under a Department of Justice criminal investigation
for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media,
according to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke with Circa on the condition of anonymity.

This comes as Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions
said he would soon be making an announcement regarding the progress of leak investigations.
A DOJ official declined to comment on Circa’s inquiry into Baker but did say,
the planned announcement by Sessions is part of the overall “stepped up efforts on leak investigations.”

Three sources, with knowledge of the investigation, told Circa that Baker is the top suspect in an ongoing leak investigation,
but Circa has not been able to confirm the details of what national security information or material was allegedly leaked.
