BASH: A disturbing discovery. Hundreds of explicit photos of former and current e-mail Marines and other service members have been posted online. A defense official tells CNN that members of a private Facebook group have been sharing lewd photos of women without their knowledge. I want to bring in CNN's pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr. Barbara, first of all, you know, have you ever seen anything like this? You have obviously been covering the pentagon for so long and are wired probably more than anybody else there. But also, do you know if they have been able to identify who is responsible?</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, a major military investigation now under way, Dana. The NCIS, Naval Criminal Investigations Service, looking into all of this. It was brought to their attention several weeks ago by a former marine who had been online, came across this site and discovered what was in it. He brought it to their attention. So that investigation very quietly begun. They're trying to determine how many people were involved. By all accounts, the photos of the women not suitable to be -- to describe on a news station like CNN. Very lewd, very salacious. It is possible some of them were originally taken under consensual circumstances but then shared not with the consent of the women. It is possible some of the photos were taken under stalking circumstances.</s>BASH: Wow.</s>STARR: So, all of this very much being investigated, all of this subject to disciplinary action. Marine corps leadership making very strong statements against it and trying to figure out at this point exactly what it is they may be dealing with. Dana.</s>BASH: Barbara, thank you. These women who, you know, are serving this country put themselves in harm's way to be allegedly hurt like this by their fellow servicemen is -- is quite disturbing. Barbara, thank you so much for that report. Sure. Backlash erupts after President Trump accuses his predecessor of wiretapping his phones without offering proof. What are the Republicans on The Hill saying about this? I'll ask one next.
