The person responsible for the leak of secret documents arrested by the FBI

The FBI has arrested the person responsible for the leak of classified documents that has plagued the U.S. government for several weeks.

The 21 year old man, Jack Teixeira, would indeed be responsible for having published on Reddit classified documents of the Pentagon.

Attorney General Garland indeed confirmed that the young man, who was part of the Massassuchetts Air National Guard, was arrested in connection with “an investigation into allegations of unauthorized deletion, retention and transmission of classified national defense information.”

Jack Teixeira was a member of a Reddit group formed during the pandemic, and according to CNN, a source who was part of that group says the document leak had been going on for several months, not a few weeks as authorities report.
