Former Treasury Official Sentenced to Prison for Leaking Russia, Manafort Docs

American Greatness:

A former senior Treasury Department official was sentenced to six months in prison for leaking thousands of confidential reports on financial transactions related to people tied to former President Donald Trump and Russia, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, 42, pleaded guilty last year to a conspiracy charge. According to federal prosecutors, Edwards leaked the confidential documents to  BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold. Leopold then shared thousands of suspicious activity reports with publications worldwide.

Court documents reveal that beginning in 2017, she leaked banking reports related to people being investigated in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of foreign interference in U.S. elections. The material included reports concerning Manafort, his business associate Rick Gates, the Russian Embassy and Maria Butina, among others.

Prosecutors said she leaked more than 50,000 documents in total. MORE

  1. She must have been a deep state loose cannon to get that much time.

    You should have leaked only what you were told to leak, sweetie, instead of throwing marked cards all over the table. Bad form.

  3. 6 months in a federal country club minimum security prison is Not an appropriate sentence. This is no way to show others there are severe consequences for their breach of trust.

  4. …and Dinesh D’Souza got 8-10 months in one of those prisons where he spent his nights with rapists, drug dealers, etc. for a minor campaign finance charge. The same charge that Democrat operatives never saw a day in court for.
