AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) A government contractor in Georgia has been charged in federal court with leaking a classified report containing top-secret information to a news organization.
The Department of Justice announced Monday prosecutors charged 25-year-old Reality Leigh Winner of Augusta with mailing copies of classified documents to a reporter.
Court records don't identify the agency Winner worked for or the news organization. Court records say the documents were produced on or about May 5 and contained ``Top Secret level'' information.
The website The Intercept reported Monday it obtained a top-secret National Security Agency report dated May 5 saying Russian hackers attacked at least one U.S. voting software supplier days before last year's presidential election
Winner's attorney, Titus Nichols, said she has no criminal history and is ``a very good person.''
