BREAKING: A Minneapolis FBI agent who started his career with the agency as an intern in 2000 has been charged with leaking classified information to @theintercept. mprnews.org/story/2018/03/… 
Terry Albury is the second person charged for leaking secret documents to Intercept. In June 2017, an intelligence contractor was charged with leaking a classified report about Russia's interference in the 2016 election to the Intercept.
A search warrant filed in Minneapolis federal court against Albury did not identify @theintercept, but a review by MPR News found the documents described in the search warrant that Albury leaked exactly match the trove of FBI documents posted by @theintercept in January 2017.
In January 2017, @theintercept published a series titled "The FBI's Secret Rules," based on Albury's leaked documents, that show the depth and broad powers of the FBI expansion since 9/11 and its recruitment efforts. -- mprnews.org/story/2018/03/…
UPDATE: Albury's attorneys say that their client, the only African-American FBI field agent in Minnesota, was "driven by a conscientious commitment to long-term national security and addressing the well-documented systemic biases within the FBI." mprnews.org/story/2018/03/…
A lot of readers are interested in this story. We will try to post the government's application for the search warrant tomorrow on @documentcloud. mprnews.org/story/2018/03/…
