Speaker 1: Soldier, Texas soldier arrested after allegedly passing sensitive US battle
tank information to the Russians. He had top security clearance,
and he was arrested about a week ago allegedly attempting
to hand over the information to the Russian government. Private
first Class Taylor Adam Lee, twenty two years of age,
was an active duty soldier stationed at Fort Bliss. Allegedly
passed on sensitive and classified information to a person he
believed was a Russian Ministry of Defense. He was nabbed
Wednesday and Elpaso on federal charges of attempted transmission of
national defense information to a foreign adversary. In June, the
alleged two FASE soldier began to transmit classified technical information
to the Russian government about the one two Abrams tank
online and offers it offered his assistance to the Russian Federation.
Lee held a top secret and sensitive compartmented information security
clearance of the FBI. The USA is not happy with
me for trying to expose their weaknesses, said Lee. At
this point I even volunteered assist the Russian Federation with
them there in any way. In July, Lee met up
with someone whom he believed to be a Russian official
in person handing over an SD card packed with sensitive
information about the M one A two. As the story continues,
well the soldier, let's find out how he did this.
In July, Lee met up with someone whom he believed
to be a Russian official in person, handing over an
SD card packed with sensitive information about the M one
A two Abrams tank. Lee was not licensed to obtain
several documents on the SD card, and the private continually
told the official it contained sensitive and likely classified information.
After discussing a specific piece of internal tank hardware during
the July meeting, he allegedly dropped off the part of
a story ward unit in El Paso on July thirty one,
sending a mission accomplished message to a supposed Russian contact.
When he was done. Thanks to the hard work of
Army Encounter Intelligence and the FBI, soldiers who violate their
oath and become insider threats will absolutely be caught and
brought to justice. So luckily they caught him before anything
serious happened.
