Two Navy Sailors Accused Of Sharing Sensitive Information With China

The sensitive information includes details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material.

Two U.S. Navy sailors have been charged for sharing sensitive military information with China.

The two sailors were charged with similar actions to provide sensitive intelligence to the Chinese in separate cases. It is unclear if the two were courted or paid by the same Chinese intelligence officer as part of a larger scheme.

The sensitive information includes details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material.

Both men pleaded not guilty in federal court. They were ordered to remain detained until their detention hearings that will take place on Tuesday.
