FOX News: 2 US sailors hit with charges tied to national security, China
1 sailor assigned to vessel in San Diego, the other based near Los Angeles
The U.S. Department of Justice arrested two U.S. Navy sailors on national security charges relating to China on Thursday.
It is unclear whether the two cases are connected in any way. The first sailor, a 22-year-old assigned to a vessel in San Diego, was arrested on an espionage charge relating to a conspiracy to share intelligence with a Chinese official.
The second sailor, based near Los Angeles, is charged with conspiracy and receipt of a bribe from a Chinese official. DOJ officials have not identified either U.S. sailor by name.
A DOJ spokesman detailed the charges against each of the members, however.
