Pentagon Leaker Warned About Sharing Classified Info with Foreigners, Prosecutors Say
TL;DR
Federal prosecutors argued in a court filing that Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old airman accused of leaking classified Pentagon records, shared sensitive information with people in foreign countries and repeatedly told his online associates that he was violating military rules he had signed. Prosecutors urged the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts to keep Teixeira detained until trial, saying foreign adversaries would "salivate" at the prospect of helping him evade the U.S. government. Teixeira's lawyers submitted their own filing asking the court to release him.
