Breaking: FBI arrests ex-SOCOM employee over leak to media 48 hours after Trump said justice was coming for leakers – Developing
Story by Randy DeSoto
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest Wednesday of a former employee of the United States Special Operations Command, known as SOCOM, for leaking classified material to a journalist.The announcement came just 48 hours after President Donald Trump promised that identifying a leaker in another recent case involving the Air Force pilot rescue operation in Iran over Easter weekend would be a top priority.
Patel posted on social media, “FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media.”
“Let this serve as a message to any would-be leakers: we’re working these cases, and we’re making arrests. This FBI will not tolerate those who seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm’s way,” he added.
In a news release, the DOJ said, “The FBI arrested Courtney Williams, 40, of Wagram, North Carolina, yesterday and a federal grand jury indicted her today in connection with her alleged transmission of classified national defense information to individuals not authorized to receive it, including a journalist.”

More arrests forthcoming, hopefully.
I hope she gets the max. There is no way she couldn’t have known she was placing that pilot and all the rescue crews at increased hazard over her big mouth.
OK, you nautical types. One of your brethren just achieved immortality. If this ain’t a feel good story, I don’t know what is!
