A 21-year-old member of the US Air National Guard, Jack Douglas Teixeira, appeared in a Boston court to face charges of unlawfully copying and transmitting classified US materials
Jack Douglas Teixeira of North Dighton, Massachusetts, who was arrested by heavily armed FBI agents at his home on Thursday, made his initial appearance in a crowded federal court wearing a brown khaki jumpsuit.
The judge said Teixeira's financial affidavit showed he qualified to be represented by a federal public defender, and he appointed one. It is believed to be the most serious U.S. security breach since more than 700,000 documents, videos and diplomatic cables appeared on the WikiLeaks website in 2010. The Pentagon has called the leak a "deliberate, criminal act."
"The Biden administration has failed to secure classified information," McCarthy said on Twitter. "Through our committees, Congress will get answers as to why they were asleep at the switch." "They are going to pick the ones , I would imagine, that foreign governments have already seen," said Stephanie Siegmann, the former national security chief for the U.S. Attorney's office in Boston and now a partner with the Hinckley Allen law firm.
Siegmann said one lingering question is why a 21-year-old National Guardsman held such a top-level security clearance.
