2. Aaron - Traitor Tracker: Low

But Aaron called Forstell to tell him about Leonard's run-in with Hookstraten. Why would he have done that if he was leaking information? The only answer would be to give himself an alibi, but that seems a bit of a stretch.
Aaron might have been a top suspect when Designated Survivor first began, but right now we think he's innocent.
3. Forstell - Traitor Tracker: Medium

After he learned about Leonard from Aaron, he went immediately to Mike, but that doesn't mean he's not the one leaking the information. It's the unknown factor that puts him higher up on the suspect list.
4. Jason - Traitor Tracker: High

He's has good reasons to go to the press, but he has to do it under the radar. Because while he wants the Kirkman White House to be exposed, he also wants to exact his revenge on the very people who destroyed his life.
5. Hannah - Traitor Tracker: Low

6. Mike - Traitor Tracker: Medium

Maybe he's angry that Kirkman is dragging his feet with the investigation, more concerned about his 100-day agenda than finding out who bombed the Capitol. Maybe he just doesn't like Kirkman. After all, he lost a lot of friends the day of the bombing. Or maybe he doesn't have a hidden agenda at all and is innocent.
7. Hookstraten - Traitor Tracker: Medium

Hookstraten wants to be Vice President and she's not about to do something to mess that up. Then again, anything is possible with Hookstraten. Maybe her desire to be President is so strong she'd be willing to do anything to get there, including bringing down Kirkman's White House.
8. Emily - Traitor Tracker: Low

9. Seth - Traitor Tracker: Low

10. Chuck - Traitor Tracker: High

Why would he betray Hannah? He might be angry about his apartment getting blown up. Or maybe he's angry that she's pretty much blown him off. He seemed to have wanted more than just a working relationship with Hannah and maybe he's bitter he didn't get that.
We know he's not in the White House, but he's close enough to considered.
