The former Air National Guardsman from Massachusetts accused of leaking top secret military documents appeared in court Wednesday where he pleaded not guilty to the half dozen federal charges he's facing.
Teixeira's family did not talk leaving court but later released a new statement, saying they remain as committed as ever and that their entire family continues to share"complete and unwavering support of Jack as he faces this matter."
Teixeira is accused of misusing his top-secret clearance while working as an Air National Guardsman, by accessing classified information not related to his job — including sensitive military details about the war in Ukraine. "There is no doubt the government takes it very seriously, and that is why you are seeing some additional charges," NBC10 Boston legal analyst Michael Coyne said."The speed of which the indictments took place says that they are concerned about national security issues, it is an important case in that regard and they are moving very aggressively to bring the case forward."
Teixeira's lawyers have repeatedly tried to get him released on bail, but he has continued to remain in custody with the judge in his case previously citing concerns about his access to guns and violent remarks he's allegedly made in the past.
