President Trump and his aides often rail on those leaking information to the media or the public, an issue the Trump administration has been struggling with since the president assumed office.

The Department of Justice announced Monday it is charging Reality Leigh Winner, a federal government contractor with top security clearance, for leaking classified materials to a news outlet.

NBC News reported that Winner provided The Intercept with National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence reporting that the Russian intelligence officials launched a cyberattack in 2016 against a voting software company.

“They have got to get after these leaks,” Chaffetz told host Martha MacCallum on "The Story" on Fox. “I want people in handcuffs and I want to see people behind bars.”
