According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Johnathan Buma was charged with illegally disclosing confidential documents.

Buma, a 15-year FBI veteran and counterintelligence specialist who criticized the first Trump administration’s handling of classified information, allegedly printed out nearly 130 files from internal FBI networks in October 2023.

At least eight of the files Buma allegedly printed out contained “sensitive information reports relating to a foreign adversary,” and some files contained information that confidential human sources provided to the FBI, which “were clearly marked with protected warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,” said the complaint. …

After he allegedly printed what he needed for his tell-all autobiographical book, Buma notified his supervisors of his intent to go on leave without pay. It appears that Buma was not discreet about the planned contents of his book during his unpaid sabbatical, sharing excerpts on social media and allegedly circulating a draft via email that allegedly included details about the bureau’s investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction program. …

Although arraigned in a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday, Buma’s case was reportedly transferred to California, where the charges were filed. He has been released on a $100,000 bond. …
