The Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated at least 14 employees since 2016 for unauthorized disclosures of bureau information and fired at least four, documents show.
Several of the FBI employees were recommended for termination, but received lighter punishments, such as suspension without pay.
Fitton also suggested that one of the investigations involved Andrew McCabe, the former deputy FBI director who was fired for lying to FBI investigators about authorizing leaks to the press about the investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Another investigation, which was closed June 6, 2017, found that a senior executive at the FBI misused a bureau database and provided sensitive information to a former FBI employee.
Another employee investigated in 2016 misused the FBI database and made unauthorized disclosures of classified, law enforcement-sensitive, or grand jury materials.
Republican lawmakers have focused on FBI and Justice Department leaks, especially regarding the Trump-Russia investigation.
Barr did not say whether the investigations centered on FBI or Justice Department employees or other government officials.
