Prosecutors plan to seek nearly 17 years in prison for Jack Teixeira, the “Pentagon leaker” who used Discord to put online highly classified military documents about the war in Ukraine. The Massachusetts serviceman, 22, pleaded guilty. In a sentencing memorandum, prosecutors say he “perpetrated one of the most significant and consequential violations of the Espionage Act in American history … Teixeira violated his oath, almost every day, for over a year”.

Teixeira’s attorneys argue that he should serve 11 years for his “terrible decision” for which he “thoroughly accepted responsibility”. Sentencing is due to take place on 12 November. The leak exposed secret assessments of Russia’s war in Ukraine, including information about troop movements and the provision of supplies and equipment to Ukrainian troops. Teixeira also admitted posting information about a US adversary’s plans to harm US forces serving overseas
