On Thursday, the FBI arrested Jack Douglas Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the U.S. Air National Guard, over leaked classified documents.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said that Jack is being investigated for the "alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information".
The classified documents were allegedly shared via Discord, a messaging platform, in a group called "Thug Shaker Central", consisting of nearly 30 young men.
The Department of Defense stated that Jack had a hold of "highly-classified material".
