Former Minnesota FBI Agent Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Leaking Documents
Terry James Albury, a former FBI agent in Minnesota, was sentenced to four years in prison with an additional three years of supervised release on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Saint Paul.
Albury admitted that
he leaked documents to a reporter from The Intercept, an online news publication.
Because of his work with the FBI, Albury held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance that allowed him access to "sensitive and classified FBI and other U.S. government information" according to a 2018 FBI release.
Court documents from Albury's guilty plea say
Albury disclosed national defense information to an Intercept reporter.
The documents included information that related to how the FBI assesses confidential informants, and a document "relating to threats posed by certain individuals from a particular Middle Eastern country."
"I fully accept responsibility for what I did," he said. "I sincerely apologize to everyone I hurt, especially my family and former colleagues."
Albury pleaded guilty to two violations of the Espionage Act.
