Worcester Court to Hear Case of Air National Guardsman Accused of Leaking Classified Docs

Airman Jack Teixeira, who was arrested on April 13 for leaking classified documents on a Discord group of about 50 members, had been posting sensitive information months earlier and to a much larger chat group of about 600 members, according to online postings reviewed by The New York Times. The newly discovered information raises questions about why authorities did not discover the leaks sooner, particularly since hundreds more people would have been able to see the posts. The exposure of some of America’s most closely guarded secrets has prompted criticism about how the Pentagon and intelligence agencies protect classified data.
