WORCESTER, Mass. — Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira is a flight risk who took calculated steps to thwart the investigation into his alleged leak of classified information, federal prosecutors argued in a new court filing Wednesday, as they prepare to tell a federal judge Teixeira"must remain detained."
In the government's filing, prosecutors claimed Teixeira took"a series of obstructive steps" intended to prevent investigators from understanding the scope of what he allegedly did. The government also outlined in detail the reasons they believe Teixeira poses a danger to the public if allowed to be released from detention, pointing to the"virtual arsenal of weapons" he possessed at residences he occupied that are owned by his mother and father.
Though investigators acknowledged that they could be tied to Teixeira's belief in conspiracy theories that the government knew of these mass shootings in advance,"the combination of these search terms, the Defendant's violent statements on social media, and the Defendant's arsenal of weapons is troubling," they wrote in the filing Wednesday.
