The Trump administration revealed that a government contractor leaked information about the military operation in Venezuela earlier this month.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the FBI searched the home of one of its reporters, claiming the raid was part of an investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones.

Perez-Lugones is a Maryland resident who was working as a systems engineer and information technology specialist for a government contracting company when federal authorities arrested him. He has maintained Top Secret security clearance since at least 2000, according to a January 9 affidavit.

Federal prosecutors accused Perez-Lugones of printing screenshots of a Top Secret report, as well as writing classified information on a notepad and taking the sheets of paper home. When authorities searched his home last week, they allegedly found multiple documents that were marked as Secret, including a document found in his lunch box.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared a statement on Wednesday about the recent arrest of the leaker and that individual's ties to the Washington Post.

"This morning the @FBI and partners executed a search warrant of an individual at the Washington Post who was found to allegedly be obtaining and reporting classified, sensitive military information from a government contractor — endangering our warfighters and compromising America's national security," Patel wrote.

During an interview with Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi described the leaker as an IT contractor who had been working with the Department of War and allegedly leaked information related to "a foreign adversary."

"The great men and women of the FBI executed a search warrant at the direction of Kash Patel and my office on the reporter's home, seizing the devices that contained classified material regarding our foreign adversaries," Bondi stated.

Revenues are up but so is spending. That falls on Congress to make cuts if they want to reduce the deficit further.

My Jo Jo still thinks the Executive Branch controls spending.

Joe repeats that lie as one of his go to trolls.

This would be a major change to how health care is funded.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to a question on Thursday about the Trump administration's plan to send health care funds "directly" to Americans, saying the president's new healthcare proposal would shift billions in federal subsidies away from insurance companies and place the money into consumers' hands.

Leavitt said the approach is central to Trump's push to let people buy their own coverage. Asked whether the president could guarantee the payments would be enough to cover health costs, Leavitt said the plan would lower premiums by ending insurer subsidies.

"This plan, once passed by Congress, will send that money directly to eligible Americans to allow them to buy the health care coverage of their choice," she said in part.
