Pentagon leak suspect indicted on federal charges.
A US Air National Guardsman, Jack Douglas Teixeira, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on six counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information relating to national defense. Teixeira was arrested in April after allegedly posting highly classified material on the messaging app Discord. The leaked documents held highly classified information on allies and adversaries, with details ranging from Ukraine's air defenses during the Russian invasion to Israel's Mossad spy agency. Each charge of unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.
