Pentagon leaked documents: Teixeira passed data to foreigners

The Washington Post reported the information.

Teixeira aroused suspicion among his colleagues months before he was charged with misconduct and dissemination of national security information.

On Friday, the court will determine whether he should be held in custody pending trial. Prosecutors have presented new evidence that reinforces the risks to national and public security that the government has previously raised with the Court.

Officials claim that one of the groups where he shared information had more than 150 users. Among them were individuals who claimed to live in other countries and whose accounts led to foreign Internet addresses.

Prosecutors also released information about online chats in which Teixeira boasted about how much classified information he knew and shared and understood the potential legal consequences of such actions.

• On April 6, The New York Times wrote about the leak of classified documents detailing US and NATO plans to build up the Ukrainian army before the planned counteroffensive. The Pentagon launched an investigation. Almost immediately, a new batch of classified documents appeared on social media, allegedly revealing US national security secrets regarding Ukraine, the Middle East, and China.
• Already on April 8, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported that the so-called classified military documents on the plans for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive were in fact a forgery and a special operation by Russian intelligence services. Russia could have forged the documents to disrupt Western aid to Ukraine.
• On April 9, investigative journalists from Bellingcat found out that the original source of the leaked secret Pentagon documents on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive was a Discord server. CNN also reported that the Ukrainian command changed some of its military plans after the leak of classified Pentagon documents to the network.
• Currently, the Pentagon is still assessing the extent of the leak, which is also related to Ukraine. Advisor to Ukraine’s presidential office Mykhailo Podolyak, in turn, noted that the documents did not contain information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive. Some of these documents did not pass the authenticity test, and the White House called them fakes. 
• On April 14, US National Guard soldier Jack Teixeira, suspected of disclosing classified Pentagon documents, was formally charged.
• On April 15, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the Pentagon's data leak had not worsened Washington's relations with its allies.
• Subsequently, the 102nd Intelligence Division of the US Air Force, in which Jack Teixeira, who is accused of leaking Pentagon documents, served, suspended its intelligence activities.
