"MARION, S.C. -- A former South Carolina state lawmaker and failed congressional candidate has been placed on leave from her Pentagon job during a probe into allegations of an unauthorized release of classified information, according to her attorney.
Since early 2019, Katie Arrington has been working as chief information officer for the Acquisition and Sustainment Office at the Defense Department, overseeing a cybersecurity initiative.
On May 11, she was informed that “her security clearance for access to classified information is being suspended” as “a result of a reported Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information and subsequent removal of access by the National Security Agency," according to a memo first reported by Bloomberg News ... "
"Arrington went to work at the Pentagon after a brief political career in South Carolina. A Republican, she was elected to South Carolina's state House in 2016. Two years later, she won a GOP primary over U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford, who had returned to his congressional seat after serving two terms as governor.
It was Sanford's first-ever loss, with Arrington calling her opponent a “Never Trumper” for his criticism of then-President Donald Trump."
