Former FBI special agent Terry Albury on Oct. 18 became the second Trump-era leaker to be sentenced to prison, after a federal judge issued him a four-year sentence in a Minnesota court.

Albury pleaded guilty in April to unauthorized disclosure and retention of national defense information in violation of the Espionage Act. He admitted to leaking classified documents to a reporter over the course of 18 months starting in February 2016, including files which were classified at the secret level.
