Reports: Retired general target of leaks probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is under investigation for allegedly leaking classified information about a covert cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to media reports. Retired Marine Gen. James “Hoss” Cartwright has been told he is a target of the probe, NBC News and The Washington Post reported today. A “target” is someone a prosecutor or grand jury has substantial evidence linking to a crime and who is likely to be charged.
