Washington:Leaking of documents of intelligence agencies in America has created panic in the whole country. The impact of the leaking of these documents on national security is so deep that President Joe Biden is saying something publicly and some other indications are being received from the steps of the country's agencies and administration. In fact, according to a Bloomberg report , a 21-year-old youth, who works in a US military base, is behind the leaking of secret documents. 

In such a situation, the Joe Biden administration is finding it difficult to explain to the Americans how the biggest US secret leak in a decade was carried out by just a 21-year-old youth. His role in the military base was as a "Cyber ​​Transport System Travelman". The qualification for this post is just a high school degree.
