Speaker Johnson: Intel Leak From Biden-Harris Admin Against Israel ‘Very Concerning’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over the weekend said the classified intelligence leak against Israel from inside the Biden-Harris administration was “very concerning.”

News broke on Saturday that classified material was published online by a pro-Iran Telegram account that showed the U.S. was spying on Israel as the country prepares to launch a military strike against Iran in response to Iran’s missile attack on the country at the start of the month.

Johnson responded to the incident during a Sunday interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” when Tapper brought up how there is now an investigation underway to determine the source of the leak.

“What’s the latest on the investigation into this leak, and what did your conversation with Netanyahu go like?” Tapper asked. “How did that go?”

Johnson said that the leak was “very concerning” and that he would get a classified briefing on the status of the investigation later today.

He said that he spoke yesterday to Netanyahu, whose home was targeted in a drone attack early Saturday morning, and told him that had he listened to the Biden-Harris administration’s advice about how to carry out their war against Hamas and Hezbollah that Israel would be “in a much weaker position right now.”

“Now is the time for a maximum pressure campaign against the head of the snake,” he said. “It’s not Hezbollah and Hamas and the proxies that are ultimately the threat. It is Iran itself, and I think we need to recognize that reality right now.”
