Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), a top Romney surrogate, said that a New York Times story reporting that the United States and Iran are moving toward talks on Iran’s nuclear program sounds like “another example of a national security leak from the White House” during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.
“Well first, I don’t know if it will be a big story, because both the White House and the Iranians have said it’s not true,” Portman said. “It sounds to me, actually, from what Helene [Cooper of the New York Times] just said, that it’s another example of a national security leak from the White House. You know, and they’ve done a lot of that.”
