Trial Update: Prosecutors say couple could have given President Biden's medical records to Russia

The trial of Dr. Jamie Lee Henry and his wife Dr. Anna Gabrielian started Tuesday in Baltimore. Both are accused of offering to use their positions to spy for Russia and to hand over private medical information on US officials and military personnel.
Dr. Jamie Lee Henry was both a doctor and an Army major with a secret security clearance. Prosecutors have said during the trial that it was possible he could have handed the Russians Joe Biden’s medical records.
Prosecutors alleged the couple could potentially provide the Russian government access to President Biden’s medical records, among other high-profile patients, in systems accessible online.
The government said the doctors “understood the risks they were taking” and were willing to “boldly wave goodbye to the United States” and go to Russia before they were caught.
It was Dr. Gabrielian who initially reached out to the Russian Embassy offering medical help shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Gabrielian was born in Russia but moved to the US as a child. She was subsequently contacted by someone who she thought might be working for the FSB but who was in fact an undercover FBI agent. Gabrielian, Henry and the undercover agent all met at a hotel where everything that was said was recorded. Jurors in the case have been watching parts of those recordings since Tuesday.
Video played for jurors shows Johns Hopkins anesthesiologist Anna Gabrielian inside a hotel room with her laptop open, accessing the confidential medical files of her patients for a foreign government, according to prosecutors.
Gabrielian shows the woman she believes is a Russian operative everything on the screen including names, medical conditions, phone numbers and addresses…
Dr. Jamie Lee Henry, an Army Major who was nearing the end of his active-duty service, was trying to access the medical records of patients on his computer but was getting frustrated with technical difficulties. He then presented a notebook to the agent that contained medical information on patients, according to federal prosecutors.
