High-ranking military officials, approximately 50 from the War Department, were polygraphed last month to identify a leaker of classified information about the country's munitions stockpile. No one failed the lie-detector tests intended to pinpoint the individual responsible for releasing sensitive details. President Trump was reportedly "furious" about the leaks and has dismissed concerns that the US military is running low on firepower, stating there are "massive amounts" of munitions being manufactured and shipped as needed. The investigation is ongoing, with some concerns suggesting a possible foreign intelligence asset within the small group of individuals who had access to the classified information.
