POLITICSJUST IN: Kash Patel’s FBI Arrests
Within days of taking over the FBI, Director Kash Patel was forced to confront the nightmare scenario every American dreads:
betrayal from within the military itself. Federal indictments allege that Jian Zhao and Li Tian,
both active-duty soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and former soldier Ruoyu Duan were poised to hand over sensitive
national defense information to Chinese agents. Prosecutors say it wasn’t a momentary lapse but a deliberate effort,
sweetened by bribes and theft of government property, to turn U.S.
secrets into personal gain and strategic advantage for a foreign adversary.
Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the alleged plot as an attack on America’s defenses, vowing “swift,
severe, and comprehensive justice.” Patel framed the arrests as a stark warning: the government is watching,
and betrayal will be hunted down. Now the nation waits to learn how deep this breach went—and whether more hidden traitors will follow.
