WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 07th July, 2020) A woman from the US state of West Virginia has admitted illegally retaining secret defense information and kidnapping her daughter to Mexico, the Department of Justice announced in a news release.
"Elizabeth Jo Shirley, of Hedgesville, West Virginia, has admitted to unlawfully retaining a document containing national defense information and committing international parental kidnapping, the Department of Justice announced," the release stated on Monday.
Shirley, 47, pleaded admitted to unlawfully retaining a National Security Agency (NSA) document containing information classified as Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI), the release said.
