Intelligence chief takes new steps to crack down on leaks

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Monday announced new steps intended to cut down on leaks after a furious backlash from Congress. 

The most significant measure is adding a new question to the polygraph tests used by intelligence agencies, which will ask officials whether they have disclosed classified information to members of the media, said Shawn Turner, a spokesman for Clapper.

Clapper is also asking for a review of policies across the intelligence community looking at how officials report contact with members of the press, and he will consider changes if the agencies are inconsistent or insufficient, Turner said.

The second directive included in Monday’s announcement was a request for the Intelligence Community Inspector General to lead investigations of leaks when the Department of Justice declines to do so.

Clapper is considering a third measure to better monitor contact between the media and intelligence officials who have access to classified information.
