A CIA employee who was accused of leaking classified documents about Israel’s plans to strike Iran will plead guilty to criminal charges that he willfully retained and transmitted national defense information, according to a court filing.

Asif Rahman, 34, of Vienna, Virginia, allegedly disclosed the classified documents in October on the Telegram messaging app.
