Spicer: This Is Not a Leak with Devin Nunes; He’s Cleared to Share Classified Info

‘That is not a leak’

EXCERPT:

JACKSON: "Will the administration pursue — will the White House pursue a leak investigation into whomever is giving Chairman Nunes this information if it’s in the executive branch?"
SPICER: "At this time we are letting the review of this situation proceed and we can address that after he decides to be clear about that."
JACKSON: "Why is this leak okay and other leaks are not?"
SPICER: "I think there’s a difference between a leak and someone pursuing a review of the situation that they have determined. There’s a difference between a leak, someone leaking out to reporters for nefarious — to take classified information and share it with people who aren’t cleared. Chairman Nunes is cleared. He is the chairman of the intelligence committee. Someone who is cleared to share classified information with somebody else who is cleared is not a leak."
