U.S. Officials Work to Ease Allies' Worries After Intelligence Leak
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin assured allied defense officials that the recent intelligence leak will not damage the unity between the US and its Western allies. The leak has raised concerns that allies may be hesitant to share intelligence with the US, but Austin emphasized that the US will continue to work closely with its partners. Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, who was charged with violating the Espionage Act for allegedly releasing classified documents involving the war in Ukraine, is being investigated by Air Force officials. The intelligence mission has been revoked from the Air National Guard 102nd Intelligence Wing where Teixeira served.
