The former head of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee was arrested Thursday on charges that he lied to the FBI about his contacts with reporters in an investigation into leaks.
James Wolfe repeatedly gave "nonpublic information" to some reporters while chief of security, including one with whom he had a personal relationship with since 2014, and lied about those contacts in a December 2017 interview with the FBI, according to a grand jury indictment.
