Ex-FBI Analyst Sentenced for Hoarding Classified Documents at Home

Kendra Kingsbury, a former FBI analyst, has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for unlawfully retaining classified documents related to national defense at her personal residence. Kingsbury held a TOP SECRET/SCI security clearance and had access to national defense and classified information. She admitted to removing and retaining approximately 386 classified documents in her personal residence, some of which contained extremely sensitive national defense information. The FBI investigated what uses Kingsbury put to the classified documents she illegally removed from the secure workspace, but the investigation revealed more questions and concerns than answers.
