You heard that crazy story about how a White House contract employee was arrested by the Secret Service because of an outstanding warrant for attempted murder in Maryland. Almost certainly this is some crazy story tied to Martest Edwards’ personal life and not anything to do with the White House. But he wasn’t just any contractor. He worked at the National Security Council. An online bio on Linkedin says he worked as an executive assistant at the Pentagon from June 2015 and as a “police officer” at the Defense Intelligence Agency since early 2012. He seems to have had various positions at the DIA doing general security related tasks. Who knows what this guy’s story is. But I’m curious to learn more about how he got his job and what his job was at the NSC.
