WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal criminal and civil investigators looked into possible leaks of economic data that the government provides early to news organizations, according to a report released Tuesday by the Labor Department.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, the FBI and the Labor Department’s inspector general are among authorities that reviewed possible leaks over the past four years, according to the report. It’s unclear whether any of their probes are continuing or have resulted in any charges. None of the three agencies would comment.
