What Are National Security Charges?

National security is a broad, often misunderstood category of federal law that can include everything from allegations of mishandling classified materials to violating foreign sanctions. Depending on the situation, the government might investigate under laws such as the Espionage Act, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), or statutes involving cybersecurity or export control.

These cases are rarely straightforward, and once the government begins an investigation, it often moves quickly with considerable resources. That is why a defense strategy must be deliberate, smart, and developed by an attorney who understands how national security cases unfold. Reach out to Price Benowitz to learn more about how we can help in your circumstances.

Types of National Security Allegations

The phrase “national security” covers a wide range of legal issues. Depending on your background, whether you are in government, the private sector, tech, or defense, the allegations may look very different.

Common charges related to national security include:

• Unauthorized sharing or leaking of classified information
• Espionage or aiding a foreign power
• Violating U.S. economic sanctions or trade restrictions
• Acting on behalf of a foreign government without registering under FARA
• Cybersecurity breaches involving federal systems
• Support for a designated foreign terrorist group
• Fraud in government contracting or defense procurement
• Misuse of security clearance or breach of protocol

These accusations may involve not only legal risk but also serious personal consequences. For that reason, it is essential to work with an attorney who understands the laws and complexities of national security cases.

Legal Protection in These Cases

When you are under federal investigation, the process may feel overwhelming. Agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security do not take these matters lightly, and their investigations are usually well underway before you are even aware of any scrutiny.

Despite agency pressure, you still have rights, and due process still applies.  A good lawyer knows how to push back, challenge assumptions, and demand accountability, especially when the government restricts access to classified evidence.

A lawyer with national security experience may be able to negotiate with prosecutors before they file charges, question the use of secret evidence under the Classified Information Procedures Act, or dispute broad interpretations of the law. Every case is different, but strategy starts early, and small moves at the beginning can shape the entire case. Contact our team today to learn more about protecting your rights.
