Fort Campbell Soldier Pleads Guilty to Espionage

News summary

Sgt. Korbein Schultz, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst with top-secret clearance, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and bribery charges after selling sensitive military documents to a foreign national believed to be working with the Chinese government. Over two years, Schultz received $42,000 for disclosing information on U.S. military assets and Chinese military tactics. Initially pleading not guilty, Schultz changed his plea in July and admitted guilt to multiple charges, including exporting technical defense data without a license. He was arrested in March at Fort Campbell and faces up to 65 years in prison with sentencing scheduled for January 23, 2025. Federal authorities emphasized the serious breach of trust and the significant risk to national security posed by Schultz's actions. This case underscores the ongoing threat to U.S. national security from foreign espionage efforts targeting military personnel.
