A former U.S. Army sergeant was arrested Friday at San Francisco International Airport for allegedly trying to deliver defense secrets to Chinese authorities.

Joseph Daniel Schmidt, 29, an active duty soldier from 2015 to 2020, had access to top-secret and secret national security information, authorities said. After leaving active service, Schmidt sought to hand over Army intelligence training and practices, information about accessing Army computers and classified information to China, according to an affidavit.
