A counterterrorism analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency has been charged with leaking top-secret details about foreign countries’ weapons systems to two journalists, including a reporter with whom he apparently was romantically involved, federal authorities said Wednesday.

Henry K. Frese, 30, of Alexandria, Va., “was caught red-handed disclosing sensitive national security information,” according to the Justice Department, which billed the case as part of the Trump administration’s prosecutorial crackdown on leakers who provide such materials to the news media and public.

The dude's also a Trump-Hater motivated by his hate, from what I've read.
