A former security director for the Senate Intelligence Committee has pleaded guilty to one count of giving a false statement to FBI agents looking into leaks of national security information to several reporters, including one at the New York Times he dated, the Justice Department announced Monday.
James A. Wolfe, 58, was in charge of maintaining all classified information coming from the executive branch to the Senate panel. He served as the panel's security director for 29 years.
"Did you make a false statement to the FBI?" D.C. district court judge Ketanji B. Jackson asked Wolfe in court on Monday. Wolfe had been scheduled to appear for a routine status hearing, before prosecutors announced that "substantial" negotiations had produced a guilty plea.
"I did, your honor," Wolfe responded.
Wolfe lied to the FBI in December 2017 about contacts he had with three reporters, according to a statement of offense released Monday as part of his guilty plea. He also allegedly lied about giving two reporters non-public information about committee matters. His guilty plea on Monday to one count means that the other two counts against him will be dismissed.
President Trump this summer said Wolfe's arrest “could be a terrific thing" and called him a "very important leaker."

‘Dated’. Now that’s funny!
Sorta like a street walker , wanna “date”?
I bet he is not in a maximum security cell awaiting his sentencing.
It is sad to report that the ‘Deep State’ is alive and well under the Trump administration.
Wolfe could have prosecuted for taking and giving top secret documents to a person with no clearance.
The ‘Deep State’ did not want to prosecute because they would have had to disclose the top secret documents.
“Mr. Wolfe, are you still seeing Ms. Watkins?”
Is having sex with a presstitute even a crime in DC?
.
>> “‘Dated’. Now that’s funny!” <<
How about “groped?”
.
‘Seeing’. That’s a lot like ‘dating’, LOL.
The fix was in!! This bastard will only serve a few months in exchange for covering for the swamp!! Sessions screwed us again!! Go read the article on conservative tree..your blood will boil!!
He was 53, she was 22
He was head of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee, she was a young reporter covering the Senate and Intelligence, breaking new stories for Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and then NY Times.
What a co-dependent relationship they must have had.
Link please.
It was a deep date.
She wanted to be Zoey Barnes.
Minus being thrown in front of a subway train.
He was only charged with 1 of the 3 charges and got a light sentence.....what other reason than the same old, same old do you think that is? This is the type of sentence for someone who has rolled on others. I think this is a wait to see how this one plays out.
I think the change in Republicans fighting back in the last 2 weeks, should let people know the game has changed in DC. When did you ever expect to cheer on Graham, McConnell or others.....
