A former civilian employee at Fort Bragg has been charged under the Espionage Act after she spoke to a journalist about alleged sexual harassment and race-based discrimination inside Delta Force, the US Army's most secretive counterterrorism unit.
On 8 April 2026, the FBI arrested Courtney Williams, 40, of Wagram, North Carolina. A federal grand jury indicted her the same day on a charge of unlawfully transmitting national defence information to a journalist, in alleged violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(d) of the 1917 Espionage Act. According to the Department of Justice press release, Williams worked for a Special Military Unit (SMU) at Fort Bragg from 2010 to 2016 and held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance.
