Re-Arraignment Scheduled For Glen Burnie Man Accused Of Stealing Millions Of NSA Documents
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A former National Security Agency contractor accused in a massive theft of classified information is due back in court for an expected guilty plea.
Federal prosecutors in Baltimore say Harold Martin faces a re-arraignment on Thursday afternoon. That proceeding typically signals a change of plea to guilty.
Martin was arrested in 2016 on charges that he stole an enormous volume of sensitive information that prosecutors say he stowed at his Maryland home.
