Jack Teixeira has been charged with unlawfully copying and transmitting classified material after being accused of leaking top secret military intelligence records online. The leaked documents are the most serious US security breach since more than 700,000 documents, videos and diplomatic cables appeared on the WikiLeaks website in 2010.

Air Force Unit Loses Intelligence Mission After Alleged Document Leak

The Air Force is investigating how a single airman could access and distribute possibly hundreds of highly classified documents and has taken away the intelligence mission from the unit where the leaks took place. The leaks have raised questions about how the documents could have lingered online undetected for months. The Air Force is conducting a service-wide review of how each command handles classified information, and the leaked documents exposed unvarnished secret assessments on the war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations, and other national security issues.
