How does a 21-year old Air National Guard member get access to classified documents to put them on a Discord?
Investigators said Jack Teixeira specializes in intelligence and led the Discord chat group where the documents turned up. The Justice Department said federal agents arrested a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard after the leak of classified military documents.
Jack Teixeira will be charged with unauthorized removal of classified national defense information.
We got some perspective on this situation from Dr. Christopher Copeland. He's an assistant professor and the Director of Institute of Homeland Security and Cybercrime at Tarleton State.
