Government investigation


Macias became embroiled in the government arrest of a counterterrorism analyst with whom she was romantically involved, according to prosecutors. The government referred to her as "Journalist 1," and Erik Wemple of The Washington Post tied both names together, while comparing Macias to Ali Watkins. The Wall Street Journal identified a second involved journalist as Courtney Kube, a senior reporter for NBC, whom Macias involved in the leaks. NBC, like CNBC, is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal.
The analyst pled guilty to agreeing to disclose classified information because it would support Macias' career and was sentenced to 30 months in prison but was released early.
