Sessions said Friday that the Justice Department has more than tripled the number of leak investigations compared with the number that were ongoing at the end of the last administration, highlighting the department’s efforts to crack down on unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information, some of which have resulted in negative media stories about Trump.

The announcement seemed designed in part to reassure Trump, who recently criticized Sessions as being “weak” on leak investigations.

“After many years of LEAKS going on in Washington, it is great to see the A.G. taking action! For National Security, the tougher the better!” Trump wrote Saturday night.

Trump also made clear that he was pleased with the unanimous U.N. Security Council vote Saturday to impose new sanctions on North Korea. The sanctions ban exports that supply up to a third of the country’s annual $3 billion in earnings.

The U.S.-sponsored resolution was in response to North Korea’s launch of two intercontinental ballistic missiles last month, activities prohibited under existing U.N. resolutions.

“The United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 to sanction North Korea. China and Russia voted with us. Very big financial impact!” Trump wrote.

Earlier, he amplified the assessment of a Fox News personality who weighed in on the case of a former Democratic staffer who is facing bank fraud charges.

The former staffer, Imran Awan, who worked for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), among others, last week pleaded not guilty in response to allegations that he and his wife engaged in a scheme to defraud the Congressional Federal Credit Union based on misrepresentations made to obtain a loan.

Awan’s attorney has connections to former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Jesse Watters noted that on the air last week, which was highlighted in a tweet by “Rightly News,” a handle that as of Saturday night had fewer than 6,000 followers.
