NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Fort Campbell soldier said he will plead guilty Tuesday following allegations he sold national security secrets for $42,000.
A federal grand jury charged Korbein Schultz in early March with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official.
The indictment alleges that from June 2022 until his arrest, Schultz allegedly conspired with an individual, identified as Conspirator A, to disclose documents, writings, plans, maps, notes, and photographs relating to national defense as well as information relating to national defense which Schultz had reason to believe could be used to injure the United States or used to the advantage of a foreign nation.
His original trial date was set for Tuesday.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
