He would be responsible for the Pentagon leaks: Jack Teixeira.

Jack Teixeira (21), the suspect in the affair surrounding the massive data leak from American secret documents, must answer for, among other things, unauthorized storage and disclosure of national defense information. This is evident from documents from the court in the state of Massachusetts, for which the 21-year-old soldier had to appear for the first time on Friday. National Guardsman Teixeira is also charged with unauthorized removal of classified information and defense materials. He was informed of the allegations in court.

The television station CNN reported that the responsible judge had ordered Teixeira to remain detained for the time being. Another hearing with him is scheduled for next Wednesday. The FBI arrested Teixeira on Thursday in connection with the massive leak of US classified documents.

Teixeira was officially authorized

The 21-year-old soldier had official permission to view top secret government documents. The court documents also show that investigators were able to identify the suspect on the basis of invoices from an internet platform.

Secret documents from US agencies about Russia’s offensive war against Ukraine have been circulating online for weeks: information on arms transfers, assessments of what is happening in the war, and also details of alleged US espionage against partners.

Biden wants better protection

After his arrest in the data breach scandal, US President Joe Biden (80) has ordered the military and secret services to take additional measures to protect sensitive information. Biden announced on Friday that the dissemination of information about national defense should be further restricted.

The content value of the classified documents published on the Internet is still being determined. The US worked closely with partners and allies. Biden praised law enforcement for “acting swiftly.” (SDA/treasure)
