The Obama holdover heading the Pentagon office reportedly under investigation by the U.S. attorney who is conducting the criminal probe of the Trump–Russia investigation was accused of leaking a classified document, in a recent court filing for retired @GenFlynn.
The connection hasn’t been previously reported.
According to a Nov. 21 report by independent journalist @SaraCarterDC, U.S. Attorney John Durham is questioning personnel in the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA).

ONA awarded about $1 million in contracts to FBI informant Stefan Halper, who appears to have played a key role in alleged U.S. intelligence agency spying on 2016 Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.
In addition, however, a court filing indicates that ONA’s director, James H. Baker, “is believed to be the person who illegally leaked the transcript of Mr. Flynn’s calls” to The @WashingtonPost.
Specifically, the filing states, “ONA Director Baker regularly lunched with Washington Post Reporter @IgnatiusPost
The filing adds that Baker “was Halper’s ‘handler’” at ONA. Moreover, the tasks assigned to “known long-time operative for the CIA/FBI” Halper “seem to have included slandering Mr. Flynn with accusations of having an affair with a British national of Russian descent.”
