[The Hill] The biggest leak of classified documents in a decade created a sprawling crisis in Washington this week as records detail alleged U.S. spying on allies, insights into American thinking on the war in Ukraine and at least two neutral countries mulling plans to support Russia.
Pentagon officials are still reviewing the documents for validity and the Justice Department is overseeing a criminal investigation of the leak.
At least one of the documents containing casualty estimates appears to have been altered, but it’s unclear how many of the roughly 100 leaked records were manipulated.
The documents have circulated online since March and possibly as early as January before picking up attention last week after a New York Times report.
