CBSN
Washington — Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old airman accused of leaking classified Pentagon records, shared sensitive information with people in foreign countries and repeatedly told his online associates that he was violating military rules he had signed, federal prosecutors argued in a new court filing. Teixeira: theres gonna be a f*** ton of information here ...
Prosecutors urged the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts to keep Teixeira detained until trial, saying foreign adversaries would "salivate" at the prospect of helping him evade the U.S. government. Teixeira's lawyers submitted their own filing asking the court to release him. Teixeira: it may be irrelevant, but its not just ukraine i cover
Teixeira was arrested and charged last month with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information, and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents. He was taken into custody days after hundreds of classified U.S. documents began circulating online, exposing U.S. secrets about the war in Ukraine, China, Taiwan and more.
