Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who is serving a 15-year prison sentence for leaking national defense secrets, is now pleading with President Donald Trump to issue him a pardon because he feels his case was “politicized” by the Biden administration.
In his first interview since he was arrested more than two years ago, Teixeira also described himself as a “patriot” and said that he would do the same thing if he had the chance to do it all over again. “I still believe in my actions,” he told ABC News.
