Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts National Guard, has made his first appearance in United States court after he was arrested in connection with a leak of classified Pentagon documents that has roiled US authorities.
Teixeira appeared on Friday in federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, a day after FBI agents descended on his family home in the small town of Dighton, about 30km (18 miles) east of Providence, Rhode Island.
