The arrest of a former US military employee accused of leaking classified information has sparked a debate over national security leaks.

FBI Director Kash Patel issued a warning, saying "we got more coming" after the arrest of a leaker, amid threats from President Donald Trump to detain a journalist to find the person responsible for a news report.

The controversy began when a second Air Force officer from a downed US fighter jet was reported missing, prompting President Trump to threaten action against the media outlet that released the information.

A former Fort Bragg civilian employee, Courtney P. Williams, was arrested for passing national defense material to an investigative reporter over a several-year period.

The incident has raised questions about inconsistent enforcement in the FBI and has sparked calls for action against journalists who have released sensitive information.
