Federal Grand Jury Indicts Airman for Mishandling Classified Documents

Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira has been indicted by a federal grand jury on six counts of retaining and transmitting classified national defense information. Teixeira was arrested two months ago for posting dozens of secret intelligence reports and other sensitive documents on a gaming server. He has remained in federal custody after prosecutors presented evidence that he had a history of making violent and racist threats, had access to an arsenal of weapons, and represented a risk of sharing sensitive information with foreign countries.
