Did your office leak k information to The Washington Post, mid-June, 2017, for the paper's story that began with this sentence:

The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.

Follow-up question: If your office began investigating obstruction of justice in June, 2017, why did it take nearly two years for you to determine you could not take a position on the issue?
