Joseph Daniel Schmidt, 31, has plead guilty to attempting to deliver national defense information and retention of national defense information.

He was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

According to records filed in the case, Schmidt was an active-duty soldier from January 2015 to January 2020. His primary assignment was at JBLM in the 109th Military Intelligence Battalion. In his role, Schmidt had access to SECRET and TOP SECRET information. After his separation from the military, Schmidt reached out to the Chinese Consulate in Turkey and later, the Chinese security services via email offering national defense information.

In March 2020, Schmidt traveled to Hong Kong and continued his efforts to provide Chinese intelligence with classified information he obtained from his military service. He created multiple lengthy documents describing various “high level secrets” he was offering to the Chinese government. He retained a device that allows for access to secure military computer networks and offered the device to Chinese authorities to assist them in efforts to gain access to such networks.

Schmidt remained in China, primarily Hong Kong, until October 2023, when he flew to San Francisco. He was arrested at the airport.

A message from Governor Bob Ferguson

"Washington state is suing the Trump Administration for illegally suspending SNAP benefits.

Political games from President Trump and Congressional Republicans are harming the most vulnerable Washingtonians.

We're fighting to protect the people of our state."

🚨 This month, the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State Special Victims Unit (SVU), with assistance from the Tactical Detective Unit (TDU), arrested Elliot Tierney, a registered s*x offender, on new charges involving the possession and dealing of depictions of minors engaged in s*xual conduct. Tierney was under the supervision of our S*x Offender Registration (SOR) Unit at the time.

This case was a team effort between SVU, TDU, and the Vancouver Police Department’s Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit (DECU).

We take our duty to protect this community seriously and will continue working to investigate and arrest those who commit serious crimes—especially those that exploit or harm children.

Tierney was previously convicted in March 2016 for possessing and dealing in child s*xual abuse material. Thanks to the diligence of these investigators, Tierney is once again being held accountable for his crimes.⛓️‍💥
