Courtney Williams, a former US Army Special Operations veteran, was arrested for allegedly leaking classified military tactics to journalist Seth Harp, who is writing a book about Fort Bragg, North Carolina. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest, warning potential leakers that the FBI is actively pursuing such cases. Williams reportedly communicated with Harp for over 10 hours and exchanged around 180 text messages from 2022 to 2024, during which she planned to share at least 10 batches of classified documents. These documents included sensitive tactics used by the Special Military Unit (SMU) for executing missions. Williams had signed a Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement upon her hiring in 2010 and again upon her departure in 2015. Harp's book, titled *The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces*, is set to be released in August 2025 and discusses various issues Williams faced during her service, including discrimination and harassment.
