Multiple reports have identified the leaker as Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, with his arrest to occur sometime later on Thursday.
The documents were reportedly leaked sometime in February in an invite-only chat on Discord, a chat server, according to a Washington Post report. However, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he was made aware of the leaked documents on April 6 and convened military officials for daily updates since April 7.
A number of the Pentagon documents suggested that U.S. intelligence penetrated the highest levels of the Russian military, including information from the Russian Defense Ministry outlining attacks against two separate Ukrainian troop positions.The Washington Examiner reached out to the Justice Department for confirmation on the identity of the leaker and the impending arrest.
The official story makes no sense. There's no way a nasty girl would ever have access to this information in the first place. The 'leak' is propaganda to drum up support for aid to Ukraine.
Completely fake and fabricated!
Why was a 21-year old national guard given such clearance/access?
Not buying it.
They found this leaker very fast...but SCOTUS leaker & those making violent death threats still not 'found'? This entire administration needs to be leaked like sieve to show the corruption. This guy is a hero...its just some people here embrace the corruption going on.
They nominated a Patsy
I hope they have this right. Where was the FBI? And how exactly did these liberal media papers get their grubby hands on this? Who leaked it to them?
HouseGOP ABC cbs NBCNews The National Guardsman who leaked those classified documents did it to gain national attention for himself and quite possibly put our military members and veterans at risk for what? To get the attention of whom? We have to screen better.
Give that guy a medal for exposing this lying administration.
Now arrest ericswalwell
Dudes a patriot.
Probably a patsy
Is because they didn’t leak them to the right news outlets?
