Federal authorities say a California man who worked as an engineer for a defense contractor has pleaded guilty to attempting to sell sensitive information used in military and commercial satellites to Russia.
Gregory Allen Justice entered the pleas Monday to two felonies: economic espionage and violating the Arms Export Control Act. The 49-year-old could get up to 35 years in federal prison.
Authorities say Justice provided an undercover FBI agent he thought was a Russian spy with proprietary software technology and other information for use in satellites.
Court documents say he was paid between $500 and $1,000 during each of several meetings last year.
Justice was arrested in July. Investigators said he told them he needed money to help with his wife’s medical problems.

AP and other Fakestream media will soon add “and Trump is behind it”.
What are the chances Mr. Justice will receive more justice than Mr. Pollard did?
