WASHINGTON (AP) — White House national security spokesman John Kirby says President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned” about the unauthorized release of classified documents on Israel’s preparation for a potential retaliatory attack on Iran. Kirby said Monday that the administration still isn’t certain if the classified information was leaked or hacked. Kirby says administration officials “don’t have any indication at this point that there’s an expectation that there’ll be additional documents like this finding their way into the public domain.” He added that the Pentagon is investigating. The investigation may take some time as authorities look for digital or physical clues that could reveal how the information got out.
