WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The US Air Force has temporarily suspended two leaders within the unit of the accused Pentagon leaker airman Jack Teixeira, Department of Defense spokesperson Pat Ryder said on Thursday.
“The Air Force has initiated an investigation as you know, the Air Force Inspector General is investigating the [102nd Intelligence] wing. My understanding is they have temporarily suspended two leaders within that unit,” Ryder said during a press briefing.
Earlier on Thursday, the US government told a federal court that Teixeira should remain in pretrial detention because he may still have access to sensitive information that could benefit hostile states.
In early April, more than 100 classified US government documents were leaked on social media, apparently showing sensitive intelligence documents on the state of the Ukrainian military and the US and NATO's efforts to strengthen it.
