The US Army’s first trans officer and her wife, a Johns Hopkins physician, have been charged with attempting to pass medical records of senior military officers and their families to the Russian government.
Major Jamie Lee Henry and Dr. Anna Gabrielian were accused of using their secret security clearance at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to steal data from the base’s hospital, the Baltimore Banner reported.
Fort Bragg is one of the most populous military installations in the world and is home to approximately 52,000 active duty soldiers. The base is home to the United States Army’s Delta Force, Forces Command, and Special Operations Forces.
The pair had communicated and met with an undercover FBI agent they believe was from the Russian embassy to provide files that the Kremlin could “exploit.”
According to the indictment, released Thursday, Gabrielian said she was motivated by her patriotism toward Russia, with Henry using her authorization as a staff internist to help secure the files.
“My stance is that until the United States actually declares war on Russia, I’ll be able to help as much as I want,” Henry reportedly told the undercover agent when they met in August to seal the deal. “At that point, I have some ethical issues to resolve.”
“You will resolve those ethical issues,” Gabrielian is said to have replied, adding that Henry was a “coward” for fear of breaking HIPPA.

The base is home to the US elite Special Forces (headquarters pictured), with Gabrielian claiming Henry could get information about how the US trained its military to provide aid to Ukraine. Gabrielian said she was fueled by her patriotism against Russia
According to the indictment, Gabrielian, an anesthesiology and critical care medicine instructor, told Hopkins the undercover officer that “she was motivated by patriotism towards Russia to give Russia every possible help, even if it meant getting her fired or going to jail.” . ‘
She allegedly told the officer that Henry not only had access to medical information at the military base, but also had insight into how America trained the military to provide aid to Ukraine.
On August 31, Gabrielian met an agent at a hotel in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where he handed over medical records from a husband of a service member in the Office of Naval Intelligence and from a relative of an Air Force veteran.
‘Gabriel marked at the [undercover agent] a medical problem that is reflected in the records of [the military member’s spouse] that Russia could exploit,” the indictment reads.
At that meeting, Henry also handed over medical information about five patients at Fort Bragg, including that of a retired Army officer, a Department of Defense employee, and spouses of active and deceased veterans.
The pair were eventually charged with conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information.
