A British investigation into the leaking of confidential diplomatic memos is raising press freedom issues with a police warning that U.K. media might face a criminal inquiry if leaked documents are published.

The Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command is investigating the leak of private memos written by Britain's ambassador to the United States that were published in the Mail on Sunday six days ago.

British officials say they believe the leak was not a result of outside hacking but seems to have been carried out by an insider. The Foreign Office criticized the leak but did not challenge the authenticity of the memos, which characterized the Trump administration as chaotic and inept. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who is jousting with Boris Johnson to become Britain's next prime minister, tweeted Saturday that the person responsible for the leak must be found and held responsible, but he differed with police over whether the publication of leaks is a possible crime.

Trump's clash with U.K. ambassador highlights a special relationship in dangerTrump has 'consistently disparaged the U.K. and shown disrespect,' according to a former British ambassador to the U.S. Just more FAKE NEWS from NBC. Time to 'Drain the Swamp' in the U.K. as well. The liberal leaders have sold out the United Kingdom and their culture to Sharia law. They have lost their culture forever if they can't reverse the damage. There was no clash as the weasel was removed. This was one last attempt by the fascist scum EU to derail the Brexit process where the British people voted to leave the fascist globalist pig club debt enslaving them. The Americans should remember those same people are Democrats.
