WASHINGTONA federal judge in Minnesota sentenced former FBI agent Terry Albury to 48 months in prison on Oct. 25 for leaking classified information to a journalist, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

Albury’s sentence is much harsher than his defense lawyers had hoped, but slightly less severe than the 52-month prison term that federal prosecutors were seeking.
