An FBI agent who said that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani \u201cmay have been compromised\u201d by Russian agents and accused the first Trump administration of political bias was detained at New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy International Airport before he could leave the nation.<\/p>\n

In the criminal\u00a0complaint<\/a>\u00a0submitted on Tuesday, Jonathan Buma was accused of unlawfully revealing private information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In October 2023, Buma, a counterintelligence expert and 15-year FBI veteran who had\u00a0criticized<\/a>\u00a0the first Trump administration\u2019s handling of classified material, allegedly printed out almost 130 files from FBI networks.<\/p>\n

At least eight of the files Buma allegedly printed out contained \u201csensitive information reports relating to a foreign adversary,\u201d and some files contained information that confidential human sources provided to the FBI, which \u201cwere clearly marked with protected warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,\u201d said the complaint.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Buma allegedly printed out screenshots of messages he sent and received with a confidential source using an encrypted messaging app; the complaint claimed that the images, which contained information, somehow made their way into a news story later that year.<\/p>\n

Buma allegedly informed his supervisors that he intended to take an unpaid leave of absence after printing the necessary materials for his candid autobiographical book.<\/p>\n
