The FBI arrested former Fort Bragg/Delta-affiliated employee Courtney Williams and charged her under 18 U.S.C. § 793(d), alleging that between 2022 and 2025 she leaked classified tactics, techniques and procedures used by elite units — information reportedly marked SECRET/NOFORN — to a journalist, with investigators pointing to hundreds of minutes of calls, roughly 180 text messages, messaging apps and seized devices as part of the inquiry. The journalist identified by AP-linked reporting as Seth Harp has called Williams a whistleblower who detailed sexual harassment and discrimination inside Delta Force, while DOJ and FBI officials — including public statements on X from Kash Patel and comments from Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg — have stressed the national-security risks of the disclosures and pledged accountability.
