Wagenius was a soldier at Fort Cavazos in Texas. Court records didn't specify his rank. 

The alleged AT&T call logs for the 2024 presidential candidates were posted online in November, according to The Verge, which noted that the call logs had not been verified as genuine. 

The indictment didn't give details on the hacking. 

The indictment accuses Wagenius of selling "confidential phone records" online. 

"We are aware of the arrest of a Fort Cavazos soldier," Fort Cavazos told Fox News Digital. "III Armored Corps will continue to cooperate with all law enforcement agencies as appropriate." 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment. 

Wagenius will next be extradited to Seattle where the case is being handled.
