Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet
The FBI has arrested three individuals on
charges of treason, marking a significant development in an ongoing
investigation under the agency’s new director, Kash Patel. The arrests
were announced on Friday, just two weeks after Patel took office.
Authorities have yet to disclose the full details of the case, but
sources confirm that the suspects allegedly betrayed the nation and
attempted to sell government secrets to China.
The U.S. Department of Justice said that two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers, Jian Zhao and Li Tian, and a veteran, Ruoyu Duan, were in the process of attempting to sell national defense intelligence to Chinese agents. Zhao and Tian were stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
In
addition to treason charges, Tian and Duan face counts of bribery and
theft of government property. Meanwhile, Zhao faces a charge of
conspiracy to transmit national defense information to someone not
authorized to have it. Read more and see X here.
