Spy Analyst Says He Tried to Alert House

An intelligence officer told a Senate panel that the acting Energy secretary last year kept him from briefing Congress on an alleged case of Chinese espionage because she said it would harm the administration’s China policy. Notra Trulock, a senior Energy Department intelligence advisor, said he was blocked last July from answering a request from the House Intelligence Committee for a briefing on an alleged case of spying at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the 1980s. Trulock told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Elizabeth Moler ignored a memo he sent her and then, when he approached her personally, rejected the request. Moler, who is no longer with the department, strongly denied the allegations.
