The leader of an online group behind suspected US military document leaks is national guardsman Jack Teixeira, officials have told NBC News.
Teixeira, 21, is said to have overseen a private online group, containing around 30 people, in which the leaked documents were shared.
He is a member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
Officials told Sky News' US partner network, NBC News, that they have been on to him for some time and that an arrest is imminent.
While their accuracy has been questioned, the leaked documents appear to reveal potential vulnerabilities in Ukraine's defences, as well as the numbers of UK special forces allegedly active in the country.
Known as "OG" in the Discord chatroom, the suspect behind the leaks allegedly claimed to spend parts of his day inside a secure facility where phones were banned, according to a story published by the Washington Post.

Don’t you think maybe execution should depend on what was revealed??? Criminy, anybody with half a brain already knew elite Ukes were being paid off to keep the war going. Everybody already knew the Ukes were losing. I would not want to execute somebody for spiiling the beans on what is an open secret. Unless the kid is a queer or tranny or Bernie bro. Then, I would stand him up in front of a firing squad.
This is very far-reaching, far beyond what you think it is.
No, I think when someone steals national defense secrets and reveals them, then execution fits the crime.
Espionage and being a traitor by stealing secrets is not a crime that one can accidentally do, it is done with planning and complete knowledge of what one is doing.
What he did was the deed, being set up doesn’t matter as far as his private crime is concerned.
Shut your yap, he was probably following orders.
Try to be more civil, and your analysis of this situation is pretty silly.
Very strong GAYDAR ping with this guy.
You need to grow up as your kind of people do not grasp that elements in the Military and in Government are out to turn you into slaves to a corrupt system...
Hope you feel better now.
Interestingly enough you turn a blind eye to the traitors inside the Military pushing this nation to its final destruction..Obama saw to that...But yet you still think they are protecting you..
Stop trying to throw your weight around here, jackass...and your analysis of this situation smells like your boy Biden’s diaper.
What makes you think that Freepers who do not support Russia and are not aiders and abettors of the war criminal Vladimer Putin are Biden Supporters?
I know, your view is so narrow you cannot see beyond the edge of your rock. You mistakenly, grossly mistakenly, equate anything opposing your narrow view as Biden support.
It’s a big world out there.
Try to be less emotional and childlike.
Mind your own business and work on being less ignorant.
Take your own advice and lay off the childish stalking.
Talk to a mental health professional for your paranoia, and stop making unfounded accusations.
#113 was meant for you.
Yeah buddy that’s the face of a real “leader”! Hilarious. As thought up and set up by someone who was cut out working him through Otic AFB. A freaking gamer without a clue. They will sweat the appropriate testimony, all contrived. What utter dog spittle for the public to lap up. Soon a film with Tom Cruise. Rah Rah tech boom bah!
How dare he reveal Biden to be incompetent.
“...this is a serious breach of national Security and will cost lives and is damaging our relationship with our allies, serious damage.”
Are you referring to the material in the top-secret documents?
A member of the U.S. military has a duty to not follow illegal orders.
Teixeira’s duty was to bring this evidence to the public.
Illegal orders? Orders he didn’t follow?
What are you talking about, he stole top-secret information.
