The US military has said it will review its vetting protocols for security clearances after a National Guard airman leaked a large trove of top secret documents to the internet last month, sending officials scrambling to determine why he was granted such high-level access.
During a Thursday press briefing, Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder was asked whether the military would seek to shore up its vetting for those granted clearance to access “top secret” and “sensitive compartmented information,” confirming that it is now evaluating the process.
“Broadly speaking, the department is looking at our security process to include the process by which we vet and provide security clearances. So that is part of the ongoing review,” he said.
