— A member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard was arrested by the FBI on Thursday in connection with the leaking of classified documents that have been posted online, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday.
The FBI said in a statement that it took Teixeira into custody"at a residence in North Dighton, Massachusetts, for his alleged involvement in leaking classified U.S. government and military documents." The search for the suspect began with thousands of people who had access to the documents, but investigators were able to quickly narrow the search to potential members of the chat group with evidence collected in the days immediately following the discovery of classified documents online by US officials.
Biden has been regularly briefed on the investigation, officials said, as well as the efforts by his top officials to engage with allies who have been identified within, or unsettled by, the content of the leaked information, according to one of the officials. Behind the scenes, it has been a reality that has loomed over a deeply personal and important foreign trip for Biden, one official acknowledged.The Air Force released service details for Teixeira, an Airman 1st Class.
Biden said he was concerned about the fact the leaks happened, but not necessarily about their content.
