Ex-Army employee with top-secret clearance indicted for leaking defense info to journalist

The FBI arrested Courtney Williams, 40, of North Carolina, and a federal grand jury indicted her for allegedly transmitting classified national defense information to unauthorized recipients—including a journalist—while she worked for a U.S. Army Special Military Unit and held a Top Secret/SCI clearance; communications with the journalist from 2022–2025 helped lead to published book and article naming her with some disclosed material, and she also disclosed on social media.
