TL;DR Summary

Massachusetts National Guard member, Jack Teixeira, accused of leaking Pentagon secrets, was reading the Bible on his porch as FBI agents surrounded his home to arrest him. Teixeira's defense team claims he knew he was wanted for arrest. Prosecutors argue that Teixeira is a young man with violent inclinations who kept an arsenal of guns and said on social media that he would like to kill a "ton of people." Teixeira has been charged under the Espionage Act with unauthorized retention and transmission of classified national defense information. He remains a grave threat to national security and a flight risk, prosecutors wrote.
