Ex-Intel Official Pleads Guilty to Leaking Top Secret Info

A former counter-terrorism analyst has pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to two journalists, including one he was dating.

Henry Kyle Frese, 31, of Philadelphia held a top-secret clearance when he worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency. He pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Alexandria to illegally transmitting national defense information.

Prosecutors say Frese leaked classified details about foreign nations' weapon systems in 2018 and 2019.

The court papers do not explicitly identify the journalists who received the information, but details in the papers make it clear that the recipients were Amanda Macias of CNBC and Courtney Kube of NBC News.
