REPORT: Anti-Trump Leaker Had A Co-Conspirator

A Treasury Department employee who has been arrested and charged with leaking financial documents of Trump associates. New reports indicate that she was not alone in her scheme, and had a co-conspirator within the department who was helping her leak information to journalists.

According to Fox News:

The Treasury Department employee charged Wednesday with leaking confidential financial files related to former Trump associates had a “co-conspirator” at the department who also exchanged several-hundred messages with a journalist, according to the criminal complaint.

The court papers do not name the higher-ranking “co-conspirator,” who has not been charged. But the complaint referred to the person as an “associate director” at the department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to whom defendant Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards reported.

The complaint states that this “co-conspirator not named as a defendant” exchanged more than 300 messages with a reporter through an “encrypted application.”

Edwards, 40, a senior official at FinCEN, is accused of illegally giving a reporter bank reports documenting several suspicious financial transactions, known as Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”), from October 2017 to the present.

The financial transactions that were leaked involved former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort, campaign official Rick Gates, accused Russian agent Maria Butina, and the Russian Embassy, according to reports.
