LONDON - British cyber security officials are investigating whether classified UK-U.S. trade documents that were shared online ahead of Thursday’s election were acquired by hacking or were leaked, two sources told Reuters.

Beside the fears that Russia could be meddling in another Western election, the disclosure of the classified documents has raised questions about the security of sensitive discussions between the United States and one of its closest allies. Johnson has repeatedly denied that claim while Trump, who in July said the NHS would be on the table in trade talks, said last week he would not be interested in the health service even if it was offered to him by Britain on a “silver platter”.

Two sources told Reuters that one of the lines of inquiry was to determine whether or not the documents had been hacked.

What a clown Corbyn is. He is the male version of Pelosi.

Seriously the UK labour and US Democrats have got to be using the same playbook. Y'all are so damned obvious. You're either that inept or you believe we are all that stupid.

You mean on purpose?

It's about time there was a proper investigation into this clown. Illegal documents, antisemitism, bullying it all needs looking at correctly.

No... The idiot Corbyn did it knowingly...

This can only mean that Johnson will ReleaseTheRussiaReport before the election, right? Anyhow, nobody questioned that the documents are valid - neither the US nor the UK government.

Leaked Trade Papers: Again an opportunist moment for the Tories to apply the 'Highly Likely' scapegoat

What exactly do you want is to understand

Again an opportunist moment for the Tories to apply the 'Highly Likely' scapegoat

This is what Robby Mook did when Hillary’s campaign chairman’s emails were leaking daily. When asked about the newest revelation he’d dodge by saying they were stolen unverified claims, etc. I suppose it was their least bad option. When life hands you lemons...

This is how conservative governments work... change the narrative to how someone got a hold of them rather than dealing with the contents and it's life-changing effects on Britains. VoteLabour2019
