President-Elect Donald Trump is calling for a congressional investigation into possible leaks of classified material to “NBC News.”

Late Friday morning, Trump tweeted: “I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.”

The bombshell request could further roil the political waters of Washington, D.C., where insiders remain in the throes of denial and finger-pointing regarding Trump’s surprise win on Nov. 8.

What has likely angered Trump, however, are the constant suggestions from the mainstream media that he won on Nov. 8 because Russian agents hacked into Democratic email accounts, and released the files to WikiLeaks.

Trump’s team believes the media and a few senior officials in the administration of President Obama may be trying to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.

The leaks to NBC first caught Trump’s eye on Thursday night, when he asked how the organization was reportedly getting the names of Russian hackers who allegedly hacked Democratic email accounts.

“How did NBC get ‘an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented’?” Trump asked on Twitter. “Who gave them this report and why? Politics!”

On Friday morning, WikiLeaks weighed in.

The leaks website, which has embarrassed the Obama administration for years with leaks of government information, began publishing emails from Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta on Oct. 7.

Podesta is a longtime confidant of the Clintons and was a leading official overseeing the transition of President Obama in 2008. The emails were damaging, and contained what WikiLeaks called “the holy grail” of political journalism — Clinton’s previously hidden Wall Street speeches.

But the leaks were largely overshadowed by other campaign issues in October — many mainstream media outlets refused to cover the revelations entirely.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has long maintained the source of the emails was not the Russian government. Assange has suggested the information came from a disgruntled Democrat in the United States.

Early Friday morning, WikiLeaks charged that the information that is being bandied about between the White House and NBC is classified as top secret.

“The Obama admin/CIA is illegally funneling TOP SECRET//COMINT information to NBC for political reasons before PEOTUS (Trump) even gets to read it,” WikiLeaks tweeted from its official account.

COMINT is communications information — made via text, email, or phone — picked up from individuals.

It would be a serious violation of federal law if such classified information were leaked to the media, especially by government officials.

By Friday, almost at noon, Trump had had enough, and asked Congress to investigate leaks.
