A British official says police in Manchester will stop sharing information about their bombing investigation with the U.S. until they get a guarantee that there will be no more leaks to the news media.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said there is progress being made on the investigation despite the leaks.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to raise the issue of the leaks with President Donald Trump in Brussels later Thursday.
British officials are particularly angry that photos detailing evidence about the bomb used in the Manchester attack were published in The New York Times, though it was not clear where those came from.
Manchester police would not comment on information-sharing, but said at a news conference that the families of attack victims were distressed by leaks.

“until they get a guarantee”
HAHAHAHAHA! A guarantee from the Trump administration? A guarantee? You’ll get two dozen promises from Donnie and they’ll collectively be worth less than whatever is on the bottom of my running shoes after yesterday’s muddy trails.
Hmm. I wonder if tweedle-dee’s administration pissants, I mean, spokespeople, will try to conflate these intelligence leaks with the ones that make His Majestic Incompetency look incompetent?
And i wonder if a specific news channel will suddenly find themselves appalled that a name was leaked? I do a lot of wondering.
Preshitident Trump is not breaking any laws when he leaks national security secrets. He is a very smart businessman. He just met with the wahabbi sunni tyrant of Saudi Arabia, who has a wonderful harem – much better on surprise visit than the Miss Teen America dressing room – and is very rich by the way. As Preshitident, he can also de-classify anything he wants. Theresa May and the British should find the folks who are leaking about Trump leaking.
Damaging leaks in 2005 and now when the Republicans are in charge. Anyone know if Trump’s publicity-crazy, Nazi-wannabe, terror buffoon Sebbie Gorka had access to this sensitive information?

I hate what Trump is doing. Hate it.
