Johnathan Buma, who has worked for the FBI for 15 years, allegedly printed copies of confidential FBI documents and messages and later shared the material with associates as part of a draft of a book he was writing on his time in the bureau.

He was arrested Monday at a departure gate at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York as he was waiting to board an international flight, court records said.

Beginning in Oct. 2023, Buma “printed approximately 130 files from the FBI’s internal network … some of which were clearly marked with warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,” according to charging documents.“

We have this. ABC News reported:

Buma also printed nine text-file documents which contained text that had been copied and pasted from reports that were marked in such a way that made clear that the information must be protected,” the charging documents said..
In the ensuing weeks, Buma allegedly shared a draft of a book he had written about his career at the FBI with “associates” over email. The draft allegedly included details about “the FBI’s investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction (‘WMDs’) program,” the charging document alleges.
