A former U.S. Army major—who in 2015 claimed to be the first openly transgender officer—and his wife were indicted on charges of attempting to hand over American soldiers’ medical information to Russia, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

A federal grand jury indicted Jamie Lee Henry and Anna Gabrielian, his wife, on charges of conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information, said a DOJ news release on Thursday.
