A U.S. Department of State officer was sentenced today to four years in prison for conspiring to collect and sell national defense information to individuals he believed to be Chinese agents.

Michael Schena, 42, of Alexandria, Virginia, worked as a South Caribbean Desk Officer in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, located at the Department of State headquarters in Washington. He was found communicating with online contacts to sell sensitive U.S. government information for money.

Schena held a Top Secret security clearance and had access to information up to the SECRET level, the Justice Department said.

In April 2022, Schena began contacting people he met online through various communication platforms. He offered to sell government information to them, including two individuals who claimed to work for international consulting companies. Despite signs that these individuals were likely acting on behalf of the Chinese regime, Schena continued communicating with them.

According to <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.vaed.575178/gov.uscourts.vaed.575178.2.0.pdf">court documents,</a> between May 2022 and March 2023, Michael Schena received payments from various accounts. At least ten of these transactions were linked to individuals Schena was communicating with online.

The FBI found in Schena’s iCloud that he received an invoice dated Aug. 30, 2024, for $10,000 and an iPhone 14, equivalent to 79,841 Chinese yuan (CNY), the official currency of China. And the phone was intended for him to receive instructions and send information.

Two months later, while at work, Schena used the cellphone to photograph and send at least four classified documents marked SECRET, which contained national defense information.

In February 2025, surveillance video caught Schena using the cellphone again to photograph seven more SECRET-level documents containing national defense information. Before he could send these photos to his contacts, FBI agents seized the cellphone and arrested him.

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Eisenberg <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-state-employee-sentenced-transmitting-national-defense-information-suspected">said</a> Schena had betrayed the United States and misused the trust given to him through his Top Secret security clearance.“Today’s sentence serves as a warning to those who would violate the trust placed in them by our nation and double-cross the American people.”

“The price of Michael Schena’s disgraceful betrayal of his country is far more than the paltry amount for which he traded his honor,” said U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) <a href="https://www.csis.org/programs/strategic-technologies-program/survey-chinese-espionage-united-states-2000">lists</a> 224 reported instances of Chinese espionage directed at the United States since 2000. The report said that incidents of Chinese espionage far outnumber those by any other country, including Russia.

In July 2020, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that the FBI was opening a new China-related counterintelligence case every 10 hours, with nearly half of its 5,000 active counterintelligence cases related to China.

Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division said Schena “deliberately” undermined U.S. national security and put American lives at risk by selling classified information to China.

“This sentencing makes clear the FBI and our partners will do everything in our power to defend the homeland. Anyone thinking of betraying their oath to the United States should consider the severe consequences and know the FBI will work tirelessly to bring them to justice,” he said.
