The American FBI is not pleased that information is leaking to the press. Therefore, it has decided to test its own agents with a polygraph, as the lie detector is officially called.

President Donald Trump has indicated since taking office in January that he wants to deal harshly with agents who pass information to journalists, and the FBI is now starting its own lie detector tests. Such a polygraph measures bodily functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration while questions are being asked. In this way, the FBI aims to prevent secret information from being shared with the outside world.
