On Thursday, President Joe Biden hinted that the US government is nearing identifying the individual responsible for leaking sensitive government secrets on social media.

Speaking in Dublin during a meeting with the Irish president, Biden confirmed that the intelligence community and the Justice Department are conducting a full-blown investigation. Still, he provided no specific information regarding the leaker’s identity.

The Washington Post reported that the leaker, a young gun enthusiast, posted national security secrets on Discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers. Biden expressed his concern over the leak, but he stated he was not worried about the content of the leaked documents.
