Air Force to Prosecute Jack Teixeira Under Military Law

Jack Teixeira, previously convicted for leaking classified data, faces new military charges including failure to obey orders and obstructing justice.

Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, will face military charges next month for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Teixeira was previously convicted in federal court for leaking classified information on Discord and agreed to a 16-year prison sentence.
The new military charges include failure to obey a lawful order and obstructing justice, stemming from incidents while he was on active duty.
An Article 32 hearing is scheduled for May 14 at Hanscom Air Force Base to determine if the evidence is sufficient for a court-martial.
Teixeira directed the deletion of messages and disposed of devices to obstruct justice, according to Air Force allegations.
