0:31Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden said the US was close to concluding investigations into the leak of sensitive documents that exposed American spying practices and assessments of Russia’s war in Ukraine, even as he sought to downplay the impact of the disclosures.
“There’s a full-blown investigation going on right now, as you know, with the intelligence community and the Justice Department,” Biden told reporters in Dublin on Thursday.
Referring to who leaked the documents, Biden said, investigators were “getting close, but I don’t have an answer.”
He downplayed the significance of the leaks, which have presented a fresh diplomatic headache for the administration during an overseas presidential trip.
