A federal judge sentenced a former Army intelligence sergeant to four years in prison on Oct. 28 for offering national defense secrets to China. Sgt. Joseph Daniel Schmidt, who had top secret clearance, served in western Washington state at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where he worked in military intelligence.
According to court documents, he served in the Army from January 2015 to January 2020. Schmidt was discharged after a mental health episode in late 2019.
