Korbein Schultz, a 25-year-old Army intelligence analyst, was sentenced to 84 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy related to the transmission of national defense information to a person he thought was linked to the Chinese government. His actions included exporting controlled information unlawfully to China and accepting bribes. Officials, including Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, emphasized the severe implications of such betrayals on national security and highlighted ongoing efforts to combat espionage linked to foreign adversaries.
This defendant swore an oath to defend the United States - instead, he betrayed it for a payout and put America's military and service members at risk.
The People's Republic of China is relentless in its efforts to steal our national defense information, and service members are a prime target.
