FBI Agent Arrested for Alleged Disclosure of Classified Information without Authorization

FBI agent Johnathan Buma was arrested Monday at JFK Airport while attempting to board an international flight. He is accused of sharing classified information, including details about foreign WMD programs, through a book draft and printing 130 confidential FBI files. This arrest underscores the tensions between whistleblowing and the protection of classified information. Buma, who has previously filed complaints regarding intelligence suppression and criticized FBI practices, faces charges that could influence how federal agencies address internal dissent.
