Top Cabinet officials are set to give senators a classified briefing Thursday about the strikes.
WASHINGTON — The White House plans to limit intelligence sharing with members of Congress after an early assessment of damage caused by U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites leaked this week, a senior White House official confirmed to NBC News.
The administration specifically plans to post less information on CAPNET, the system used to share classified material with Congress, the official said.
The decision, which almost certainly won’t sit well with Democrats, comes as top Cabinet officials are set to provide a classified briefing to members of the Senate on Thursday afternoon about the strikes.
“The administration should immediately undo this decision," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told NBC News Thursday. “They seem not to want to see the facts to get out. Just Trump’s version of the facts, which we know is often false."
Axios first reported the administration’s intention of limiting the information provided to Congress.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., echoed outrage from President Donald Trump and his allies Thursday over the reporting of the Defense Intelligence Agency's early assessment of the U.S. strikes on ""Iran, which said that its nuclear program had been sent back by only three to six months.
“There was a leak, and we’re trying to get down to the bottom of that. It’s dangerous and ridiculous that happened. We’re going to solve that problem, and we’ll keep the coordination,” Johnson told NBC News. When asked if he thought the leak came from Congress, the speaker replied, “That’s my suspicion.”
Despite the administration’s crackdown and Johnson's suspicions, it’s not known whether the leak came from a member of Congress.

Excellent. It is clear that many in congress don’t deserve the trust they would need to see any of this information.
Don’t punish the group. Name names and deny those specific people access. When other rats share info with those rats then repeat the process. It will achieve the same results and it will continually keep rat treachery front and center in people’s minds.
This is the same Congress that wanted hearings before approving a sneak attack on Iran.
Incredible.
Also the same guys that leaked Israel's plans??
Just Trumps way of avoiding trying, convicting and executing the traitor or traitors.
And so it seems that this was a deliberate set to ferret out moles.
Publish something false and innocuous and find out when it gets leaked and trace it.
Nice work.
I wonder if democrats are interested in any pagers.
The whole group would leak it.
They should do other set ups and ferret out more leakers.
Wise decision. Congress is not known for keeping its mouth shut. creepy gropin’ pedophile slowjoe proved that when he publicly outed the Seal Team 6.
See My Tagline. The answer is right there...
Trump is dealing with called ... ‘The US Congress’
Adam Schiff For Brains did it.
Looking at you Adam Schiff…
With our new UN Style Congress loaded with refugee freeloaders from all over the planet, I think all of Congress background checks and security clearances need to be pulled. We can’t have foreigners being given all of Americans intelligence secrets.
“The whole group would leak it”
That’s kinda my point. Rather than ice them all out keep a continual drip of news about corrupt democrats leaking to hurt America. By the elections there will be a wonderful Democrat=treason motif in the zeitgeist.
Hey A-holes. Stop leaking classified information. Try that! SMH!
