WP: Some documents look fake

Documents posted on social media could be valuable to Moscow as they reveal the extent of US spy agencies’ penetration of the Russian military and state apparatus, US media reported.

The Justice Department, which launched an investigation on Saturday, is trying to trace the source of the leak and is still investigating whether any of the leaked documents are genuine.

According to the Washington Post, citing US officials, some of them appear to be fakes or the result of stitching. But most of them are consistent with CIA reports circulating in the White House, the Pentagon, or even the State Department, according to the same source.

Some contain information about allies. For example, one of them concerns a discussion in the South Korean government about sending shells suitable for American artillery to Ukraine, the New York Times explains.
