WASHINGTON — The FBI is launching a hunt for the phone of the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, as part of a broader investigation into the leak of the identity of a CIA agent posing as a diplomat.
The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Christopher Wray, said Monday that the move was being taken in response to the leaks of the identity of two CIA officers who posed as Russian diplomats in 2016 and 2017.
“We’re conducting a search right now for those devices,” Mr. Wray said. “We are examining them as part of a comprehensive effort to identify those responsible for the leaks and hold them accountable.”
A spokeswoman for Mr. Bernanke declined to comment.
The FBI has been looking into the leak of the identities of the two officers, revealed last month by The Associated Press, for more than a year. The probe was likely prompted by former acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency Gina Haspel, according to current and former officials.
The inquiry comes amid Mr. Wray’s assertion that the leak of the names of the two officers was part of an attempt by someone seeking to damage the CIA. Mr. Wray described the activity as a “hostile intelligence service,” with a role in the Trump-Russia investigation, which is being conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller III.
Mr. Mueller’s investigation is looking at Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election, including possible collusion by associates of President Trump ac619d1d87
