Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had a punishment in mind for those within the federal government leaking sensitive information to the press, particularly as British intelligence is no longer willing to work with the United States due to these leaks.

According to leaks, imprisonment would be the proper punishment.

Watch:

“He ought to lock somebody up,” Gingrich said. “The people who leaked the British story were not in the White House. They were in the intelligence community, and they ought to go to jail.”
