Quote: "There’s a full-blown investigation going on, as you know. The intelligence community and the Justice Department. And they’re getting close," Biden said.
It was the first time the UP president commented on the leak.
Biden said he was concerned about the fact the leaks happened, but not necessarily about their content.
"There’s nothing contemporaneous that I’m aware of that is of any consequence," Biden added.
