Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who pleaded guilty to leaking classified military documents about the Russia-Urkaine war, as well as other secrets, will face charges from the U.S. Air Force for his crimes.
The U.S. Air Force is preparing additional charges against Teixeira, which will be presented during a hearing at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts in May.
Teixeira pleaded guilty in federal court to six counts of retaining and transmitting classified national defense information in March, accepting a 16-year prison sentence. As part of the guilty plea, prosecutors agreed not to charge him with further violations of the Espionage Act.
Teixeira also agreed to sit for a debriefing with members of the intelligence community, Department of Defense, or Department of Justice, and turn over any classified materials that may still be in his possession.
