Washington (CNN) -- The attorney for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks leaker, says he doesn't have any information indicating that Manning leaked tens of thousands of pages of documents on the Afghanistan war to the WikiLeaks website.

"I have not talked to my client about that. I have not seen anything, nor have I heard anything that would definitively tie him to that," said attorney David Coombs in an exclusive interview with CNN.

Manning has not been charged with leaking those Afghanistan field reports, but U.S. military officials have told CNN that he is the prime suspect in that leak. "There's nothing that I have seen that indicates that there's any evidence tying him to any of these leaks," said Coombs.

Manning, an Army intelligence analyst, is being held in solitary confinement at a Quantico, Virginia, detention facility. He is charged with leaking an airstrike video that the whistleblower website WikiLeaks published in April.
