The DOJ has announced that a government employee was arrested on Thursday for trying to share classified information with agents of a foreign government because he did not “agree or align with the values” of the Trump administration.
Nathan Vilas Laatsch, a 28-year-old IT specialist working for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) since 2019, was arrested this week in Virginia, the DOJ announced. Laatsch works for the DIA’s Insider Threat Division, where he holds a Top Secret security clearance.
Court documents reveal Laatsch allegedly sent an email to a to an officer or agent of a foreign government, saying he did not “agree or align with the values” of the Trump administration and was therefore “willing to share classified information,” including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation,” the DOJ said.
In March, the FBI received a tip regarding the email and began communicating with the 28-year-old, posing as a foreign government official.
Laatsch then began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace over a three-day period, before confirming to the FBI agent — whom he believed to be a foreign government official — that he was ready to transmit the information, the DOJ claimed.
