NEW YORK (AP) — A former CIA software engineer accused of causing the biggest theft of classified information in CIA history has told a jury there’s not enough evidence to convict him of espionage and other federal charges.

He said in his closing arguments Thursday (July 7, 2022) that the CIA and FBI made him a scapegoat for an embarrassing public release of a trove of CIA secrets by WikiLeaks in 2017. A prosecutor said there was ample proof that he pilfered a sensitive backup computer file.
