Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar, who had originally been charged with eight offences under the National Defence Act, will be tried on three counts beginning Dec. 9, the office of the chief military judge said in a statement on Wednesday.
He was accused of communicating “special operational information” to a foreign entity, which was not identified at the time of his arrest almost a year ago.
A CBC News investigation at the time of his arrest reported that he was accused of passing sensitive information to Ukraine.
Freeland was unavailable for comment.
