The 21-year-old is accused of committing one of the most serious US security breaches since more than 700,000 files appeared on WikiLeaks.
abc.net.au/news/pentagon-leak-jack-teixeira-indictment/102486990A federal grand jury has indicted a member of the US Air National Guard accused of leaking top-secret military intelligence online.
He is accused of committing one of the most serious US security breaches since more than 700,000 documents, videos and diplomatic cables appeared on the WikiLeaks website in 2010. Each charge of unauthorised retention and transmission of national defence information provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $US250,000 .
Mr Texeira was arrested in April after allegedly posting highly classified material on the messaging app Discord, prompting concerns about how a low-level airman could have such broad access to military secrets.
