Leaker spoke of "race war": report

Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old National Guardsman who is alleged to have leaked classified military documents among his peers on gamer-centric chat platform Discord, lived in fear of a "race war" and believed the mainstream media had been corrupted by Zionists.

The look into the bizarre mind of Teixeira, whom the FBI took into custody last month on charges of violating the Espionage Act, arrives courtesy of a new report in the Washington Post released today. The report includes hundreds of unpublished screenshots of conversations between Teixeira and his friends on Discord, along with chat logs, videos, and interviews with his close friends.
