The White House has responded to a cache of leaked US intelligence documents on the Ukraine proxy war by discouraging the public from reading them. “This is information that has no business in the public domain,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby declared. “It is not intended for public consumption.”

A glance at the documents makes clear why: they contain information showing that the US public has been misled about the proxy war waged in their name.
