America's control over its most valuable secrets has been thrust into question by the fallout from the most damaging intelligence leak since Edward Snowden's breach more than a decade ago.
CNBC has reached out to the Pentagon and White House for comment.Even with the increase in shared intelligence among U.S. agencies in recent years, observers are still baffled that such a junior employee would have access to CIA reports.
"Strangely, one of the documents is an internal CIA document — as internal, it would never have been disseminated to other agencies, not even within the intelligence community. How is that out there?" the executive said, referring to the leaked documents. Crucially, he said — echoing Martin's concerns — the leak damages U.S. credibility and trust among alliances. He pointed to the leaked files, some of which he had seen, that painted a grim picture of Ukraine's future prospects in battle.
