Donald Trump has been charged under the US Espionage Act – but is this 1917 law still up to the job?

He has been charged with 37 violations of the US Espionage Act, and pleaded not guilty.

Key Points: 
  • He has been charged with 37 violations of the US Espionage Act, and pleaded not guilty.
  • The Espionage Act of 1917 could have a better name.
  • Those who violate it are not necessarily spying on the US or selling its secrets to a foreign adversary.
  • Simply mishandling secret information could be a violation if done wilfully, or if that mistake was covered up.

Millions have clearance

    • Today, 5.1 million people in the US have a security clearance – of whom 1.25 million have top-secret clearance.
    • As a privilege that takes months to obtain, it is understandable that some people like to brag about their access.
    • Listening to the CNN recording, one might conclude that Trump was also showing off Pentagon plans to a staffer not cleared to see them.
    • Espionage Act violations come in many different forms and can result in a wide variety of punishments, if any at all.

Changing times

    • In a perfect world, public officials would see these as a lodestar for their service.
    • Of course, these principles are vague and impossible to codify into law.
    • By that standard, every MI6 employee should be fired immediately, but what would that do for national security?
