Pentagon Leaker Charged for Possessing Classified Documents on the Venezuela Raidhttps://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/01/16/pam-bondi-person-who-leaked-the-operation-in-venezuela-is-behind-bars-n2669527A Pentagon contractor has been arrested for leaking and taking classified information on the raid that saw Venezuela's socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro captured. He was also in possession of sensitive materials about a foreign country.
Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones will remain in custody, according to U.S. District Chief Judge George Levi Russell III, after his defense attorneys said they weren’t “prepared to move forward” with the hearing.
From the New York Post:
The IT specialist and former US Navy service member was identified as an alleged leaker in a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday, following an FBI raid on the home of a Washington Post reporter who has promoted herself as “the federal government whisperer.”
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson’s home in suburban Alexandria, Va., was searched by the FBI as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of retaining national defense information unlawfully, sources told her outlet.
If the reporterette did
anything to make secret docs public she needs to spend a few years in government-paid free room and board.
