Former U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst Sentenced for Selling Military Secrets to China​

A former U.S. Army intelligence analyst has been sentenced to seven years in prison for selling sensitive military information to an individual he believed was affiliated with the Chinese government.​

Background

Korbein Schultz, 25, of Wills Point, Texas, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to multiple charges, including:

  • Conspiring to collect and transmit national defense information

  • Unlawfully exporting controlled information to China

  • Accepting bribes in exchange for sensitive, non-public U.S. government information

  • Between May 2022 and his arrest in March 2024, Schultz transmitted at least 92 sensitive U.S. military documents to a contact in China, receiving approximately $42,000 in return.


Details of the Case

Schultz entered into a long-term arrangement with an individual referred to in court documents as "Conspirator A," who claimed to reside in Hong Kong. This person posed as a client from a geopolitical consulting firm and solicited detailed analyses on U.S. military capabilities and planning, particularly concerning Taiwan and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.​

The information Schultz provided included:​

  • Details on U.S. military exercises in the Republic of Korea and the Philippines

  • Information related to Russia's war in Ukraine

  • Documents concerning U.S. military satellites and missile defense systems​


Despite indications that "Conspirator A" was likely connected to the Chinese government, Schultz continued the relationship in exchange for financial compensation.

Official Statements

Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated, "This defendant swore an oath to defend the United States — instead, he betrayed it for a payout and put America’s military and service members at risk."​

FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized, "The People's Republic of China is relentless in its efforts to steal our national defense information, and service members are a prime target."​

Sentencing

On April 23, 2025, Schultz was sentenced to 84 months (seven years) in federal prison. The sentencing serves as a warning to those who might consider betraying national security interests.​

Candace Owens is calling out Donald Trump — and she’s not wrong to do so.

The U.S. Constitution protects the right to free speech, not selective speech.  Yet what we’re seeing in America right now is a troubling trend: voices critical of Israel are being silenced or vilified. Israel is a foreign nation, not the 51st U.S. state, but it's being treated as if it’s above reproach — as if criticism equals betrayal. Supporting the MAGA movement doesn’t mean blind allegiance to everything Trump says or does.  I voted for Trump because I believe in putting America first — our Constitution, our freedoms, our people. But that doesn’t mean I’ll choose loyalty to Trump over principles when the issue is clear. Whether Trump has been misinformed by Israeli intelligence or there’s more going on behind the scenes, something doesn’t sit right. And Candace Owens is raising questions that deserve answers.
