(CNN) A former CIA analyst pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents about Israel’s preparations to attack Iran late last year, according to the Department of Justice.
Asif William Rahman had been employed by the CIA since 2016 and held a top-secret security clearance with access to sensitive compartmented information, some of the most sensitive information within the US government.
Beginning in the spring of 2024, the Department of Justice said Rahman repeatedly accessed and printed classified information, taking them to his home and altering them in an attempt to conceal their source. Rahman then shared the top-secret information with multiple people who were not authorized to receive it, the department said.
