"US Military Personnel Accused of Sharing Classified Information on Dating Apps"
A former US Air Force member, David Franklin Slater, has been charged with sharing classified information about Russia's war with Ukraine on a foreign dating app after allegedly receiving requests for secrets from an unnamed woman. The Justice Department revealed that Slater, who retired as an Army lieutenant colonel and was assigned to the US Strategic Command, transmitted details about military targets and Russian capabilities despite signing paperwork pledging not to disclose classified information. Messages from the woman on the dating app included inquiries about NATO, Biden, and potential surprises for Putin. Slater is due to make his first court appearance on Tuesday.
