A Massachusetts Air National Guard member who has been accused of leaking hundreds of classified documents online has been indicted by a federal grand jury, officials say.
reported that prosecutors presented evidence that Teixeira had a history of making violent threats, had access to weapons, and was at risk for sharing sensitive information with other countries.
“The unauthorized removal, retention and transmission of classified information jeopardizes our nation’s security. Individuals granted access to classified materials have a fundamental duty to safeguard the information for the safety of the United States, our active service members, its citizens and its allies,” said Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy. “We are committed to ensuring that those entrusted with sensitive national security information adhere to the law.
“As laid out in the indictment, Jack Teixeira was entrusted by the United States government with access to classified national defense information — including information that reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security if shared,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland
