On October 14, 2025, Washington time, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:
Ashley Tris, a U.S. State Department advisor and India affairs expert, was charged by the Department of Justice for printing classified documents and storing over 1,000 pages of highly sensitive government records in file cabinets and garbage bags at his home. Tris was accused of illegally retaining defense information after FBI agents searched his home on the weekend. He was ordered to be detained and will face a detention hearing next week. His lawyer said they look forward to the hearing and will be able to present evidence.
An FBI affidavit stated that Tris printed classified documents on topics such as the capabilities of U.S. military aircraft last month. According to court documents, surveillance video showed him leaving State Department and Defense Department facilities multiple times with a briefcase, which is believed to have contained the printed documents.
