Former CIA engineer accused of massive leak of classified information to WikiLeaks convicted on only minor counts as jury deadlocks on espionage charges
2020-03-11
  • Joshua Schulte worked as a coder at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia

  • Prosecutors say Schulte was a disgruntled employee who exploited a back door in the CIA's systems to copy documents

  • The government said the documents were published by WikiLeaks as the so-called Vault 7 leak and Schulte was responsible

  • Jurors said the government didn't prove its case to convict Schulte on espionage charges and were left 'extremely deadlocked'

  • Schulte was convicted of contempt of court and making false statements
