Former US Navy Sailor Investigated for Pro-Russian Propaganda Accounts
TL;DR
The Department of Justice is investigating former Navy non-commissioned officer Sarah Bils for her alleged role in spreading leaked Pentagon documents through a pro-Russian series of social media accounts under the banner of "Donbass Devushka." Bils, who had a security clearance as part of her Navy career, is an administrator for the Donbass Devushka properties, which is now a network of 15 people. It's unclear if Bils used her security clearance to access classified documents to leak. The investigation is ongoing.
