NSA Employee Sentenced to 22 Years for Attempting to Leak Information to Russia
An ex-NSA employee sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison for attempting to send classified information to a supposed Russian spy, who turned out to be an FBI agent. Jareh Sebastian Dalke, a former NSA employee, communicated with an undercover FBI agent, requesting $85,000 in exchange for classified information. Dalke handed over four Top Secret NDI documents to the supposed Russian agent at Union Station in Denver and was arrested shortly after. Court documents revealed Dalke’s financial troubles and personal motivations for his actions. Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed satisfaction with the 22-year sentence, emphasizing accountability for those who betray the country.
