(WND News Center)—A government worker with a top security clearance who complained to an FBI agent posing as a representative of a foreign government that he didn’t “agree or align with the values” of the Trump administration has been arrested.
The suspect, Nathan Laatsch, 28, has worked with the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Insider Threat Division since 2019.
He was accused of attempting to share classified information with an agent of a foreign government, according to an announcement from the Department of Justice.
The case was launched when the FBI got a tip in March that someone was willing to turn over classified information to a friendly foreign regime.
“An email to the FBI said that the person – later identified as Laatsch – didn’t ‘agree or align with the values’ of the Trump administration, and would be willing to share classified information that he could access, including ‘completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation,’” according to a report from Fox News.
The report said Laatsch began communicating with an FBI agent, whom he thought was a foreign government representative, and confirmed he was ready to turn over classified details.
He brought information out of his workspace multiple times after transcribing the secrets onto a notepad at his desk, the DOJ said.
The FBI coordinated with Laatsch for him to deposit classified information “for the foreign government to retrieve” from a location at a northern Virginia park, the DOJ said, and FBI agents watched him do that.
The FBI then retrieved a thumb drive that contained a message from Laatsch and “multiple typed documents with information portion-marked for Secret or Top Secret levels,” the report said.
He offered that as “a decent sample size” of what he could do, the report said.
Laatsch later messaged the agent “appearing to say that he was seeking something in exchange” for the details, that he was interested in “citizenship for your country” as he didn’t think his situation in America would “improve in the long term,” the DOJ said.

He also was “not opposed to other compensation” but didn’t really need “material compensation.”
He then agreed to provide additional information and when he arrived at a meeting point, he was arrested.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
