“An active-duty U.S. Army soldier has been arrested and accused of trying to leak classified defense information to Russia, prosecutors said. Taylor Adam Lee, 22, of El Paso, Texas, was arrested Wednesday, Aug. 6, and charged with attempted transmission of national defense information to a foreign adversary and attempted export of controlled technical data without a license, the Department of Justice said in a news release. Starting in May, Lee, who had been stationed at the Fort Bliss base in Texas, allegedly tried to send sensitive information about the Army’s main battle tank to Russia’s Ministry of Defense. … In July, Lee allegedly met in person with someone he believed to be a representative of the Russian government and passed them an SD card containing information about the M1A2 Abrams and combat operations.” (08/07/25)
