Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified military documents, has been ordered to remain in jail while he awaits trial. The judge granted prosecutors' motion that Teixeira remain detained, citing his fascination with guns and lack of integrity, as well as the possibility that a foreign government would attempt to gain access to classified materials.
