A Pentagon contractor was indicted for leaking classified documents, sparking a clash over national security and press freedom.
Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones, a 61-year-old Pentagon contractor from Laurel, Maryland, was indicted on six counts related to unlawfully transmitting and retaining classified national defense information.
He is accused of removing classified documents from his workplace, including printing and sharing sensitive reports with a journalist, with some materials found in a lunchbox during a home search.
The case is linked to a federal search of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson’s home, where agents seized multiple electronic devices, prompting the newspaper to seek their return.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the government from reviewing the seized items, with a hearing set for February 6.
The Justice Department emphasized the national security risks of leaks, while press freedom advocates raised concerns about the investigation’s impact on journalism.
Perez-Lugones, who holds a top-secret clearance, has been in custody since his January 8 arrest.
