A federal appeals court has thrown out obstruction convictions for a former Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent who gave information to a suspected terrorist with whom she became romantically involved.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in a case involving the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol means the convictions against former agent Leatrice De Bruhl-Daniels must be tossed, according to an Oct. 11 ruling from a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit panel.
