Accused Pentagon leaker repeatedly mishandled classified documents, shared secrets with foreigners.
Jack Teixeira, the US air national guard member charged with leaking highly classified military documents in the so-called Pentagon leaks, was warned repeatedly over his mishandling of classified material, according to court filings. Prosecutors allege that Teixeira continued leaking documents even after he was rebuked on two separate occasions last year due to his “concerning actions” related to classified information that were observed by superiors. Teixeira's lawyers are urging the judge to release him to his father's home, while prosecutors argue that he should be kept behind bars as he poses a flight risk and the leaked information could be accessed by foreign entities.
