From the Daily Wire:
A 30-year-old former NSA agent was arrested after the feds said that he had been trying to sell government secrets to an undercover FBI agent he thought was a foreign operative.
Jareh Sebastian Dalke of Colorado Springs, Colorado, made his first appearance in court on Thursday after he was hit with espionage related charges for allegedly attempting to transmit National Defense Information (NDI) to a Russian operative.
According to the Department of Justice, Dalke used an encrypted email account to send several classified documents to a person he believed worked for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
“In actuality, that person was an undercover FBI agent. Dalke subsequently arranged to transfer additional classified information in his possession to the undercover FBI agent at a location in Denver, Colorado,” the DOJ said.
Dalke, who was an information systems security designer for the NSA between June and July this year, was arrested on Wednesday when he went to meet up with his contact to allegedly sell classified information.
