The leaked documents appear to be related to President Barack Obama's targeted killing program that involved the use of drones.
The Trump administration has charged a former intelligence analyst with leaking classified information about the Obama administration's military campaigns against al-Qaida, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.Daniel Hale, who served in the Air Force and as an analyst for a defense contractor, was charged in March by a grand jury in Virginia with leaking secret and top secret documents in 2013 and 2014 to a reporter for an unnamed news outlet that appears to be The Intercept.
Many of those documents were later published in October 2015, the indictment alleges. That month, The Intercept published"The Drone Papers," a series of investigative articles the outlet said was based on a cache of secret documents obtained from a whistleblower. The indictment says that in April of 2013, Hale attended an event at a Washington book store where he met the reporter. Scahill was then promoting his book"Dirty Wars" about the United States's increasing use of special operations forces and drones in the Middle East. Dirty Wars was also released as a documentary film that year.
The indictment alleges that the following February, Hale used a work computer to print six documents that were"unrelated to his work" as an analyst. Four hours later, Hale and the reporter discussed meeting in Washington, according to a text exchange included in the indictment.
