Excerpts: “Mr. Kline testified that until recently he had never seen sensitive personal information from security clearance files being “pushed” to the media. On a personal level, Mr. Klinetestified that he found the leaks from someone in the White House Personnel Security Office to be “troubling,” and said the leaks could be a threat to national security. Mr. Kline testified the information disclosed in the media likely emanated from the Office’s adjudication team.” “Mr. Kline testified that no one ever attempted to influence him to grant or overturn a security clearance adjudication determination,” he said. “He explained, ‘I have never been approached by anybody at the White House or outside the White House to adjudicate a case, one way or the other, in my tenure at the White House,'” the memo states. A former senior law enforcement official, with knowledge of the security clearance process, said leaking classified information regarding those being adjudicated is a felony and “must be investigated.”
