Intelligence Staffer Critical of Trump Charged With Seeking to Pass Classified Documents to Foreign Government
A Defense Intelligence Agency employee was charged with attempting to pass classified intelligence to a foreign government, offering to spy because he didn't agree 'with the values' of the Trump administration, the Justice Department said.
Nathan Vilas Laatsch, a civilian information technology staffer at DIA, was arrested in Northern Virginia Thursday after a three-month Federal Bureau of Investigation investigation during which he allegedly left a thumb drive containing classified documents at a public park for pickup by a 'friendly' foreign government.
