Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in Politifact Article on Leaks About Russia Contacts

Professor Heidi Kitrosser was quoted in an article in Politifact entitled "Are Leaks About Russia Contacts 'Illegal,' As Trump  Says?" She explains in the article that the federal Espionage Act "doesn’t explicitly criminalize giving classified information to the media across the board," but that the Act "is broad enough that it comes close to having that effect." She is also quoted as saying "that there is nothing remotely unusual about a Washington leak that technically violates the act . . . . Indeed, every day, major newspapers publish stories that technically violate the Espionage Act."
