Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday at a public forum that the White House has to understand that the disclosure of classified information is coming from its ranks. She said she was confident that President Barack Obama had not leaked information.

Nevertheless, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney seized on Feinstein's remarks and accused Obama of leaking information about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Feinstein issued a statement saying she was disappointed with Romney's comments. She reiterated that she did not believe that Obama leaked classified information.
