Trump Breaking News Network -GOP follows Trump's lead, demands leak investigation.

House and Senate Republicans are following President Trump's lead by demanding investigations into the damaging leaks that have been pouring out of the federal government since President Trump took office.

Leaks that exposed former national security adviser Mike Flynn's phone call to the Russian ambassador in December, as well as conversations between Trump and foreign leaders, have frustrated Trump in his first few weeks in office. When Democrats pounced and said further investigations into the White House are warranted, Trump said the "real" issue is the leaks themselves.

"The real story here is why there are so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington," Trump tweeted.

Republicans in Congress made it clear they are ready to oblige. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is drafting a letter to the FBI that will ask the bureau investigate the leaks.

That includes an examination of who obtained and leaked a private telephone conversation between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that led to Flynn's ousting late Monday.

"The chairman is drafting a letter to [FBI director James Comey] asking the FBI to look into, and report to the House Intelligence Committee on, the long series of purported leaks of classified information we've seen for the last several months," a GOP aide said.
