​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. A former Fort Bragg employee with top-secret clearance is accused of leaking classified military tactics to a journalist, then admitting to her mother that she could be arrested for exposing sensitive operations, according to a federal complaint.. Courtney P. Williams,40, an Army veteran assigned to a Special Military Unit (SMU) at Fort Bragg in North Carolina,was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday and charged with unlawfully transmitting national defense information, including classified tactics used in covert missions, to an investigative reporter over a period spanning several years, federal prosecutors allege.. According to the complaint, Williams held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance and had direct access to highly sensitive operational details, including tactics, techniques and procedures — commonly known as TTPs — used by elite military units.. Williams allegedly violated 18 U.S.C. § 793(d) the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a news release Wednesday.. Investigators allege that between 2022 and 2025, Williams communicated extensively with a journalist, including phone calls lasting hundreds of minutes and roughly 180 text messages, while also sending documents and materials that were later published in an article and book identifying her as the source.. OUSTED HEGSETH AIDE RESURFACES IN INTEL ROLE AS IRAN WAR SPARKS INTERNAL STRAIN. FBI Director Kash Patel took to X on Wednesday after the arrest, saying the Bureau “will not tolerate” leakers of classified intel.. “Let this serve as a message to any would-be leakers: we’re working these cases, and we’re making arrests,” Patel wrote. “This FBI will not tolerate those who seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm’s way.”. The Associated Press reported that while the journalist is not named in the court filings, “dates and details match” both an article and book written by Seth Harp about the Army’s Delta Force.. An excerpt from Harp’s book, “The Fort Bragg Cartel” was published in Politico’s magazine last August under the title, “My Life Became a Living Hell: One Woman’s Career in Delta Force, the Army’s Most Elite Unit,” featuring Williams’ testimonials alleging sexual harassment while serving.. Harp released a statement to WRAL-TV about Williams, calling her a “brave whistleblower and truth-teller,” despite reported reservations she shared with the journalist after the book was published.. “Former Delta Force operators disclose `national defense information’ on podcasts and YouTube shows every day, but the government is going after Courtney for the sole reason that she exposed sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the unit. This is a vindictive act of retaliation, plain and simple,” Harp’s statement read.. The published materials, according to the government, contained classified information at the “SECRET” level with “NOFORN” restrictions, meaning it was not authorized for r  

​Hawaii anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig has been convicted of second-degree murder after prosecutors said he attempted to kill his wife during a brutal cliffside assault on a remote Oahu hiking trail, fueled by suspicions of an affair. Jurors were shown graphic police body camera video of Arielle Konig bloodied and disoriented, as well as the rock prosecutors say he used to repeatedly strike her head, during testimony about what unfolded on March 24, 2025.

Prosecutors argued the attack sprang from jealousy and betrayal, pointing to what they described as a growing fixation on his wife’s alleged infidelity in the months leading up to the incident. A forensic examiner testified investigators recovered Reddit searches and posts from Konig’s laptop focused on cheating, anger, and divorce, including threads titled “Lying again,” “It’s over,” and “I did a horrible thing.” Authorities said Konig also purchased a voice-activated recorder and researched remote hiking locations, including the Pali Puka Trail, with keyword searches such as “kill,” “death,” “cliff,” and “fall,” along with a Dropbox folder labeled “Divorce.” They argued the digital trail reveals motive and planning.

According to prosecutors, the tension culminated on March 24, 2025, when the couple traveled from Maui to Oahu for what was supposed to be a birthday trip. Arielle Konig testified that the hike turned violent when her husband grabbed her and tried to force her toward the edge of a cliff. She said she threw herself to the ground and clung to vegetation as he tried to push her over, then saw him holding a syringe and telling her to “hold still” before she knocked it away. Moments later, she said, he picked up a rock and began striking her in the head. Two hikers who heard her cries rushed in and called 911. Jurors later saw body camera footage showing Arielle bloodied and disoriented as bystanders helped her.

Prosecutors reinforced that account with testimony from Gerhardt Konig’s son, Emile Konig, who said his father called him shortly after the attack and admitted he had tried to kill his wife, blaming it on her alleged affair. “He would not be making it back to Maui… and that he tried to kill her,” Emile testified. He said his father later appeared on FaceTime with blood on his shirt and told him he planned to jump off a cliff before police arrived.  

​A Maine school district in Falmouth has reportedly changed its policy after a lawsuit filed by a father and son about the Pledge of Allegiance in classrooms. The Portland Press Herald reported that Christopher Hickey filed suit on behalf of his 10th-grade son Clayton, alleging the Falmouth School Department was violating its long‑standing policy and state law by not providing daily opportunities to recite the Pledge in high school.

The lawsuit claimed that the pledge occurred regularly in the district’s elementary and middle schools, but high school students had not participated for two years. District leadership told Fox News Digital that families are encouraged to raise questions and concerns about district policies, and that reciting the Pledge is an option at Falmouth High School.

“At Falmouth High School, students are welcome to say the Pledge of Allegiance if they choose,” Falmouth Schools Superintendent Steve Nolan said in a statement. “Now that this matter has been brought to our attention, we have taken steps to provide an opportunity during the school day for students who wish to say the Pledge of Allegiance to do so during a designated time.”

Statute §4010 states that “a school administrative unit shall allow every student enrolled in the school administrative unit the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at some point during a school day in which students are required to attend. A school administrative unit may not require a student to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.”

The district’s policy also notes that an American flag will be flown on school grounds on school days and will be visible in every classroom. “Furthermore, an opportunity must be provided, during the school days for which students are required to attend, for students and staff to recite the Pledge of Allegiance,” the policy adds.

Hickey’s attorney, Jack Baldacci, said in a statement that despite Nolan’s preference to resolve the matter without litigation, the district would not have changed without the suit. “The district had ample time to correct this longstanding omission on its own and failed to do so,” Baldacci wrote. “We are glad the district is now complying, and we hope this marks the beginning of a renewed commitment to the robust civic education every student deserves.”
