The dykes will love this fat pig in jail.
A senior Treasury Department employee is accused of leaking financial documents to the media related to targets of the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, federal prosecutors say. Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, who has several years of experience investigating financial crimes and dealings as part of the U.S. intelligence community, was arrested and charged on October 16, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a press release.
Edwards, who is alternatively referenced as “Natalie Sours,” “Natalie May Edwards,” and “May Edwards,” in the press release, has been charged with conspiracy and unauthorized disclosure of “suspicious activity reports,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman
said in the press release. The documents are connected to several of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s targets, including Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and Maria Butina, prosecutors said. A 40-year-old Virginia resident, Edwards has most recently worked in the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
“Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, a senior-level FinCEN employee, allegedly betrayed her position of trust by repeatedly disclosing highly sensitive information contained in suspicious activity reports (SARs) to an individual not authorized to receive them,” Berman said in a statement. “SARs, which are filed confidentially by banks and other financial institutions to alert law enforcement to potentially illegal transactions, are not public documents, and it is an independent federal crime to disclose them outside of one’s official duties. We hope today’s charges remind those in positions of trust within government agencies that the unlawful sharing of sensitive documents will not be tolerated and will be met with swift justice by this office.”
