Police are using high-tech satellite technology to find out who journalists spoke to in hunt for mole who exposed Sir Kim Darroch's memos
Police hunting for the 'mole' who leaked Sir Kim Darroch's confidential memos criticising Donald Trump are scanning the phones of journalists to trace the 'Kim Philby-like' culprit, it emerged today.
Scotland Yard is said to be using 'the full force of the state' to track the person who leaked the diplomatic cables sent from the British embassy in Washington to the Foreign Office in London.
They are using satellite technology to track journalists' movements at the time of the leak this month, it is claimed.
Detectives also hope that this data can be triangulated with any data gathered about suspects, so they can be placed together.
GCHQ, who are based in Cheltenham, are said to have been involved in the probe and quickly worked out that it was not a foreign state behind the leaks
