A Massachusetts Air National Guard member has been arrested after the disclosure of highly classified military documents on the Ukraine war.
National guardsman Jack Teixeira is believed to be behind the leak of hundreds of classified US intelligence documents

The Biden administration has been working to assess the diplomatic and national security consequences of the leaked documents since they were first reported last week.
