Biden preps to announce re-election campaign for 2024 presidential bid

<p>Jack&nbsp;Teixeira—the man previously suspected of leaking highly-classified US documents online,&nbsp;has been&nbsp;charged with the "unauthorised retention and transmission" of a trove of classified United States government documents on Friday (April 14) during a short hearing.</p>

<p>Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the National Guard from a small town in Massachusetts, is held accountable for allegedly leaking classified information regarding the conflict in the Ukraine and other subjects of national security.</p>

<p>At the time of his arrest, he was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, as seen on surveillance footage&nbsp;taken at his Dighton house by the FBI.</p>

<p>Teixeira was in charge of a group of about 20 to 30 young men who participated in a chat group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He was initially&nbsp;suspected of posting images of top-secret and secret documents into the group between late 2016 and March 2017.</p>

<p>The information appeared to have been shared in an effort to impress the other members of the organisation, known as Thug Shaker Central, according to former members who spoke with media sources like the New York Times and Washington Post.</p>

<p>The information was then made public after being uploaded outside of the chat room group, which disgraced the Biden administration and led to a large search for the culprit.&nbsp;</p>
