A US lieutenant general passed classified information about Ukraine and Iran to two journalists for a year, reports Axios. According to the publication, one of the Pentagon's chief military strategists, Bret Sylvia, during a meeting with a journalist in a cafe, used his notes from a secret report to reveal information about US military aid to the armed forces of Ukraine. According to an internal Pentagon report, Silvia failed a polygraph test four times, and later admitted to passing unauthorized information to reporters. The investigators also suspect that the general deliberately deleted a signal correspondence with one of the journalists, which is allegedly related to Iran. The head of the Pentagon has already fired him for leaking classified data.
