Part 1/8:
Allegations of Espionage: A State Department Official's Betrayal
A disturbing breach of national security has emerged, as Michael Charles Sheena, a 42-year-old State Department official, faces grave accusations of selling classified information to Chinese intelligence operatives. Arrested on March 5, 2025, Sheena held a top-secret security clearance and served as a Caribbean desk officer. The FBI’s surveillance efforts yielded incriminating evidence against him, detailing how he allegedly photographed sensitive documents from his workstation. He now faces charges of conspiracy to gather and transmit National Defense information to unauthorized users, posing a significant threat to U.S. diplomatic security.
