How the Feds Hunted Down the Pentagon Leak Suspect
Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who was arrested Thursday and accused of leaking classified intelligence documents, was arraigned in federal court on Friday as the FBI released new documents providing further insight into his alleged crime.
Judge David Hennessy told Teixeira he faces charges of unauthorized detention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal of classified information and defense materials. Teixeira arrived in the Massachusetts courtroom in shackles, with some family in attendance, CNN reported.
A criminal complaint and affidavit for Teixeira, obtained by The Daily Beast, confirmed a series of stories that circulated Thursday when the guardsman was taken into custody during a raid of his Massachusetts home.
