Army Veteran Charged with Leaking Classified Information on Elite Commando Unit
Courtney Williams, a 40-year-old Army veteran from Wagram, North Carolina, has been charged with sharing classified information about an elite commando unit with a journalist. The Department of Justice accuses Williams of violating federal law and multiple nondisclosure agreements by disclosing details of her work with a special military unit at Fort Bragg. The charges, which include a violation of the Espionage Act, were unsealed in a Raleigh federal court. Williams allegedly shared information with a journalist between 2022 and 2025, which was used in an article and book about the Army's Delta Force. The FBI claims that Williams' actions put the country, military personnel, and allies at risk. Williams is currently held by the U.S. Marshals Service pending further hearings.
