Excerpt: “On or about May 9, 2017, WINNER printed and improperly removed classified intelligence reporting, which contained classified National Defense Information and was dated on or about May 5,2017 (the ‘intelligence reporting’) from an Intelligence Community Agency (the ‘U.S. Government Agency’) and unlawfully retained it. The intelligence reporting describes intelligence activities by a foreign government directed at targets within the United States. WINNER did not have a ‘need to know’ the information contained in the intelligence reporting. Approximately two days after May 9, 2017, WINNER unlawfully transmitted the intelligence reporting to an online news outlet (the ‘News Outlet’).”
