TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has granted a two-week delay in the detention hearing for Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman suspected of leaking classified documents, after his lawyers sought more time to address the issues presented by the government's request for detention. Teixeira waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was charged with possessing classified documents pertaining to national security and possessing national defense materials. The charges carry a maximum of 10 years behind bars. The postponement of Texeira's hearing comes as the Air Force's 102nd Intelligence Wing, which Texeira was assigned to, was ordered to stand down from its intelligence mission as the service's inspector general conducts an investigation.
