Airman charged with leak accused of attempted coverup and racist remarks, with potential access to more classified docs.
Federal prosecutors have argued that Jack Teixeira, the Air National guardsman accused of leaking classified documents, poses an ongoing threat to national security as he may still have access to a trove of classified information that could be valuable to hostile countries. Prosecutors will urge a judge to keep him behind bars, arguing he poses a serious flight risk and that a foreign adversary could try to help him escape the United States and give him safe haven. Teixeira had a history of making violent and racist remarks, keeping an arsenal of weapons and tactical gear at his house, and trying to thwart federal investigators by apparently destroying evidence.
