Leak of American secret documents could have occurred as a result of the actions of a person associated with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or the National Security Agency (NSA) This was reported by Fox News. Most of the documents leaked into the network are closed reports of the US Department of Defense, which are sent electronically to specially protected tablets.

Some documents, according to Fox News, could be prepared not by the Pentagon, but by the CIA or NSA. The circle of recipients of such documents is smaller.
