Texas born Monica Witt attended George Washington University that has taken in $100 million dollars from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries. It is said that she began getting radicalized at the university and later became a spy for Iran and turned over documents to them.
She is believed to be in Iran and if so, she will never face a judge or jury on espionage charges. The universities that accept such contributions often hire instructors who are hostile to the United States and they espouse radical positions.
Witt was charged on February 13th, for spying on the United States and supplying information to Iran.
A former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist accused of espionage for Iran, Monica Witt, was allegedly radicalized in part during a stint at a Washington university that has taken $100 million from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.
Certain American universities have received funding from the U.S. government with a partial goal of training students to be diplomats and intelligence specialists for the U.S., while simultaneously accepting financial donations from Middle East countries. In some cases, the programs have been staffed by academics who are critical of U.S. policy and who publicly espouse fringe positions.
Witt was charged Feb. 13 by the Department of Justice with sharing government secretswith Iranian officials. She was allegedly helping create a cyber-hacking operation on fellow former agents. She is at large and believed to be in Iran.
Witt’s radicalization “was rooted in Ms. Witt’s military service and … accelerated while she was in graduate school” at George Washington University, where she earned a master’s degree in its Middle East Studies program, The New York Times reported.
