Former security director for the SIC, James Wolfe was arrested by law enforcement officials yesterday. Wolfe was the director of security for the committee for 29 years until his abrupt departure at the end of 2017.
The Department of Justice working alongside Federal Bureau of Investigation agents received access to information from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday.
Jeff Sessions has indicted the leaker, who had a 30-year relationship with the federal government working as a security director.
According to prosecutors in the case, Wolfe lied to the FBI in December 2017, and was dishonest about the contact he had with three separate reporters. He lied about giving information that was not readily available to the public, to two reporters.
The New York Times said that Federal prosecutors seized multiple years’ worth of email data and phone records related to its reporter, Ali Watkins.
Watkins had previously had a three-year-long relationship with Wolfe.
The indictment was unsealed this morning, June 8.
Wolfe used his personal cell-phone and his government email account to contact these reporters.
This will likely be the first of many leakers to be arrested. Leaked intelligence from the FBI offices of Andrew McCabe and James Comey building a case attempting to impeach President Donald J. Trump will likely soon be prosecuted also.
