The Air Force has opted to prosecute Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira for “alleged misconduct related to his military duties” in the wake of a massive leak.
Jack Teixeira orchestrated the most damaging leak of US classified information in a decade, posting highly sensitive documents on the social media platform Discord.
A retired lieutenant colonel was arraigned in a Fort Belvoir, Va., courtroom this month on a charge that he sexually assaulted a major in 2022 — using a rarely employed authority of the military legal system to prosecute officers in retirement.
The Air Force is pursuing charges against disgraced leaker Jack Teixeira under military law, according to a service spokesperson.
