“FBI Investigating Ex-Navy Noncommissioned Officer Linked to Pro-Russia Social-Media Account”
“The FBI is investigating the activities of a former U.S. Navy noncommissioned officer who oversaw a social-media account involved in the spread of intelligence documents allegedly leaked by Airman First Class Jack Teixeira, U.S. officials said Monday. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the woman, Sarah Bils, administered several pro-Russian outlets while in uniform.
The scope of the investigation into Ms. Bils, a 37-year-old who left the Navy in November, couldn’t be determined.
“She is actively under federal investigation,” a U.S. official said, “but the circumstances of the content of the investigation are unclear at this time.”
Ms. Bils told the Journal on Monday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which sent agents to her home in Oak Harbor, Wash., on Sunday, is investigating death threats allegedly made against her. She said that she also discussed the leak of classified documents with the FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and has stressed that she wasn’t the sole administrator of the site where leaked documents appeared.”
Petty Officer Bils’ activity as Donbass Devushka and several other aliases dates back to her active duty service. That could be a problem for her. Maybe she should look into travel to Donbass.
