WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham questioned why a low-ranking Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of leaking secret intelligence had access to the information and demanded people lose their jobs over the security failure.
“I am stunned that somebody at that level could have so much access,” Graham, R-Ky., said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “Some people need to be fired over this.”
The U.S. charged 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, who holds a rank equivalent to an army private first class, with a massive disclosure of government secrets, an embarrassment that prompted President Joe Biden to clamp down on the spread of classified material.
