Senator John McCain calls leaks of highly classified counterterrorism operations "one of the most egregious breaches of national security in recent memory." In a statement he blasts President Obama for risking the nation's security to benefit his campaign.
"These leaks clearly were not done in the interest of national security or to reveal corrupt or illegal actions about which the public has a right to know, as in the case of legitimate whistle-blowers," McCain said. "It is difficult to escape the conclusion that these recent leaks of highly classified information, all of which have the effect of making the president look strong and decisive on national security in the middle of his re-election campaign, have a deeper political motivation."
Watch a preview of Anderson's interview with the Senator and see the full conversation at 8 and 10 p.m. ET. They discuss how to control the leaks, who's to blame, and also the mounting death toll in Syria.
