The White House has acknowledged top officials are still consulting retired General David Petraeus for advice about fighting the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Iraq, even though he has pleaded guilty to leaking classified information. Petraeus gave his biographer and lover Paula Broadwell access to his CIA email account and other sensitive material, including reportedly the names of undercover operatives in Afghanistan. But White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said no measures are in place to prevent future security breaches.

Josh Earnest: “He is, I think, legitimately regarded as an expert when it comes to the security situation in Iraq. So I think it’s—it makes a lot of sense for senior administration officials to, on occasion, consult him for advice.”

Reporter: “And any particular security precautions that you take in this situation, given his legal entanglements?”

Josh Earnest: “Not that I’m aware of.”
