Breaking news: Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guard member charged with leaking classified government secrets in an online group of gamers and gun enthusiasts, was indicted on additional charges.
The indictment charges Teixeira with six counts of illegal retention and transmission of national defense information, crimes which could send him to prison for years if he is convicted.
Teixeira has been held in jail since his April arrest. FBI agents traced photos posted online of classified documents back to Teixeira, a 21-year-old from North Dighton, Mass. Authorities say he worked as an IT professional at, and abused his top secret clearance — illegally sharing U.S. intelligence assessments and other sensitive information with others on Discord, a social media platform popular with video game players.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a written statement that 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.”
