Former FBI Agent Indicted on Charges

[LiberalAndProud]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A former FBI agent has been charged with tipping off the subject of a national security probe that he was under investigation.

Denise K. Woo, 45, was arraigned Monday on a five-count indictment charging her with deliberately disclosing a covert FBI operation and of lying to fellow FBI agents. She was freed on $50,000 bail.

The Los Angeles Times, which obtained a copy of the indictment, reported Saturday that the covert operation focused on a Chinese-American man who worked for a defense contractor and was suspected of passing sensitive information on to the Chinese government. That man, identified only as ''J.W.,'' was never charged with any crime.
