Sessions wants to put people 'in jail' for leaks

Attorney General Jeff Sessions says the Justice Department is aggressively investigating recent leaks of classified information and wants to put "some people in jail" over the disclosures.

"Whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put some people in jail," Sessions said in El Paso, Texas, during a border-security visit with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged investigations into national security leaks, particularly those related to the ongoing FBI probe of possible ties between Trump campaign officials and the Russian government.

“I’ve actually called the Justice Department to look into the leaks,” Trump said during a news conference in February. “Those are criminal leaks.”
