BI arrest US Air Force National Guard Jack Teixeira over the leaks of top-secret Pentagon docs

THIS is the moment US Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was arrested by FBI agents investigating the top-secret Pentagon files leak.

Jack Teixeira, 21, has been taken into custody after he was detained in Dighton, Massachusetts.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland said Teixeira was arrested "without incident" and he will have an initial appearance in court.

Jack Teixeira is a 21-year-old national guardsman with the Massachusetts Air National Guard.

Jack is enlisted in the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard.

He serves as a member of the intelligence wing and his identity was first reported by The New York Times.

Teixeira oversaw an online Discord group called Thug Shaker Central where approximately 30 people - mostly young men and teens - shared a love of guns, racist memes, and games.

The group is allegedly responsible for leaking the documents.
The leaked documents, which were shared on Discord, Twitter, and Telegram, contain sensitive information about the support the United States is providing Ukraine amid its war with Russia.

The documents detail the US and Nato's plans to help Ukraine prepare ahead of a spring offensive against Russia and suggested China has secretly launched a 6,500mph hypersonic missile that could beat US defense systems.
