ALAN TACHER: And does Russia have a spy in the Pentagon? Yes, you heard correctly. That is the question that many are trying to answer after the massive leak of top secret intelligence documents. The Washington Post describes the alleged leaker as a former employee of a military base, albeit without revealing his identity.

EDWIN PITTI: New reports suggest that the alleged person responsible for leaking highly classified Pentagon documents may be a man in his 20s who worked at a military base.

Although leaders in Ukraine blame Russia for the leak, the alleged leaker's friend refutes that version.

WITNESS: He is not a Russian operative. He is not a Ukrainian operative. I’ll go as far to say he’s not even on the east side of the world. He was a young, charismatic man who loved nature, God, who loved shooting guns and racing cars.
