Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who was accused of leaking dozens of intelligence documents to the online gaming service Discord, was indicted by a federal grand jury on six counts of retaining and transmitting classified national defense material, the Department of Justice announced on Thursday.
Why it matters: Teixeira, a 21-year-old from North Dighton, Massachusetts, was arrested by FBI agents in April and faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for each count, per the DOJ.
