TL;DR Summary

Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard charged in connection with the leaked documents probe, has been ordered detained ahead of his trial. The federal magistrate judge rejected Teixeira's appeal for pretrial release, saying the alleged leaker was responsible for a "profound breach" that put at risk "a list as long as a phone book." Prosecutors have argued that Teixeira is both a flight and national security risk and, if released on bail, they say he could "further disseminate classified information" and "take refuge with a foreign adversary."
