NEW YORK (AP) — An FBI agent who has previously criticized the
bureau was arrested this week on charges of illegally disclosing
classified information, according to court records filed
Tuesday.
Johnathan Buma, who has worked for the FBI for 15 years,
allegedly printed copies of confidential FBI documents and
messages and later shared the material with associates as part
of a draft of a book he was writing on his time in the bureau.
He was arrested Monday at a departure gate at John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York as he was waiting to board an
international flight, court records said.
An attorney representing Buma did not immediately return an
emailed request for comment.
Buma has raised issues with how the FBI was handling certain
investigations through statements to news media, various
government agencies and Congress, according to the filing.
