A Manhattan federal court judge has eased up on the security restrictions surrounding accused CIA leaker Joshua Schulte — even though prosecutors recently accused him of trying to start an “information war” from behind bars.

Judge Paul Crotty ruled Wednesday that Schulte, an ex-CIA technician accused of slipping classified documents to Wikileaks, can now have monitored contact with non-immediate family members.

The 30-year-old remains in a solitary housing unit in the notorious 10 South wing of the Manhattan Correctional Center. Under current security measures his own attorneys aren’t even allowed to share seemingly “innocuous” messages from him with his family, the judge said.

He was moved from general population to the restrictive unit — which housed Mexican drug Lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — after prosecutors claimed Schulte was using contraband cellphones to disseminate classified and misleading information via social media.

His defense attorneys had asked Crotty to completely remove their client’s security measures, saying they were unconstitutional.

Schulte, who is charged with illegal gathering of national defense information and other counts, faces up to 135 years in prison if convicted.
