TL;DR Summary

Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guard member charged with leaking highly classified military documents, will remain in jail while he awaits trial. The decision was made after prosecutors revealed that Teixeira had a history of violent rhetoric and was caught by superiors months before his arrest taking notes on classified information or viewing intelligence not related to his job. The judge cited Teixeira's "fascination with guns," disturbing online statements, and prior admonitions by superiors about his handling of sensitive information as reasons for his detention. Teixeira is accused of sharing classified military documents on Discord, a social media platform popular with people playing online games.
