The U.S. Air Force is preparing to file additional charges against Jack Teixeira, who in March pleaded guilty to leaking classified military documents about the Russia-Ukraine war.
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.
But now, the Air Force is seeking charges for alleged misconduct related to the Airman First Class’s military duties, a spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force told Fox News. 'As A1C, Teixeira was on Title 10 active-duty orders during the charged timeframe; he is subject to both criminal prosecution with the Department of Justice and the United States Air Force under the Uniform Code of Military Justice ,' the spokesperson said.
The second instance happened around April 7, 2023, and the Air Force claims Teixeira directed another person to delete discord messages sent to Teixeira, also to intentionally obstruct justice. A commander reviewed the evidence against Teixeira and determined charges should be filed under UCMJ, the spokesperson told Fox News.
