- FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest, stating the FBI is "working these cases" and will not tolerate those who "seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm's way."
- Authorities have not confirmed whether this arrest directly relates to the specific leaks Trump referenced, though no suspect name or specific charges have been publicly released.
