DNI chief says Lamborn read classified information

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The top US intelligence official says a congressman revealed classified information when he read aloud a passage from a Defense Intelligence Agency report that said North Korea had the knowhow to put a nuclear warhead on a missile.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is telling Congress that the paragraph that Colorado Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn read at a House hearing last week was "mischaracterized as unclassified."

Clapper repeated his contention that North Korea has made progress on its ballistic missile and nuclear program, but has not fully developed, tested or demonstrated the full range of capabilities necessary for a nuclear armed missile, and that the DIA report went further than the rest of the intelligence community.

DNI spokesman Shawn Turner said DIA mislabeled that section of the report.
