A court ruling states that journalist James Risen must testify in trial for a former CIA official who leaked classified information. This ruling now comes as a threat to investigative journalists in attempt to catch a person who leaks classified information.

This article talks about a person who leaked government information. It talks a little about what information was leaked.

The documents were leaked into the hands of reporters and, after a fight in court, were published and released to the American public.

This is a great topic to expand on.

nowadays everyone has access to social media it's true how social media can give people power of what they post or its a risk also people can also personal information just my hacking or simply looking up
