Former FBI analyst sentenced for keeping classified documents at Kansas City-area home

Published June 22, 2023 11:29 AM

A former FBI analyst has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for keeping classified documents at her home in North Kansas City, Missouri. Kendra Kingsbury pleaded guilty in October to two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to national defense. She was sentenced Wednesday to three years and 10 months in federal prison. Federal prosecutors said Kingsbury held a high level security clearance, which gave her access to national defense and classified information. During her employment from 2004 to December 2017, she took 386 sensitive government documents home. Prosecutors say she has declined to provide a motive. She was most recently living in Garden City, Kansas.
