Washington (AFP) - An upcoming special counsel report is critical of the handling of classified documents by President Joe Biden and his aides but does not any recommend criminal charges, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. The newspaper said the report by special counsel Robert Hur into the discovery of classified documents at Biden's home and former office was expected to be released in the coming days. Hur was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland last year after classified material dating from Biden's time as vice president was found in 2022 at his residence in Wilmington, Delawa...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden has been questioned as part of an investigation into the handling of classified documents found at his home and former private office, the White House said Monday. The 80-year-old Democrat voluntarily gave the interview on Sunday and Monday, at a time when the president was also dealing with the fallout of a deadly attack on Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The US attorney general appointed a special counsel in January to look into the handling of the secret files, which dated from Biden's time as vice president under president Barack Ob...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden has been questioned as part of an investigation into the handling of classified documents found at his home and former private office, the White House said Monday. A furor over the secret papers dating from Biden's time as vice president prompted the US attorney general to name an independent prosecutor to carry out a probe in January. "The president has been interviewed as part of the investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur," the White House said in a statement. It said the "voluntary interview" with the 80-year-old Democratic president ...

New York (AFP) - Jack Teixeira, the US airman accused of leaking top-secret Pentagon documents in an online chat forum, was slapped with additional federal charges on Thursday. The 21-year-old Air National Guard IT specialist allegedly orchestrated the most damaging leak of US classified documents in a decade. A federal grand jury in Boston indicted him on six counts of "willful retention and transmission of classified information relating to the national defense." They each carry sentences of up to 10 years in prison. The charges are in addition to the two counts filed by prosecutors against...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump said Thursday he has been indicted over his handling of classified documents after leaving office, the US ex-president's most serious legal threat yet as he pursues a second White House term. "The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform as he broke the bombshell news of a historic moment for the United States: the first time a sitting or former commander-in-chief has faced federal charges. There was no immediate confirmation from the Justice Departm...

Worcester (United States) (AFP) - The US airman accused of leaking top-secret documents will remain in jail pending trial, a federal judge ruled Friday, after prosecutors argued that he posed an ongoing risk to American national security. Jack Teixeira -- a 21-year-old Air National Guard IT specialist -- allegedly orchestrated the most damaging leak of US classified documents in a decade, posting a trove of highly sensitive information in an online chat forum. The documents, which soon spread across the internet, pointed to US concern over Ukraine's military capacity against invading Russian f...

Washington (AFP) - A US airman accused of leaking top-secret documents received repeated warnings for misusing his access to classified information but was still allowed to keep his high-level security clearance, court filings show. Jack Teixeira, 21, is accused of orchestrating the most damaging leak of US classified documents in a decade, posting a trove of highly sensitive information in an online chat forum, from which they spread across the internet. The documents pointed to US concern over Ukraine's military capacity against invading Russian forces and showed Washington had apparently sp...

Boston (AFP) - A US airman accused of leaking top-secret documents had a history of making "violent" statements and owned numerous weapons, federal prosecutors alleged as a judge heard his request for bail Thursday. The Justice Department also said that 21-year-old Jack Teixeira might still have access to classified documents and that "hostile" nations could aid his escape if he is released from prison. They argued during a detention hearing in Worcester, Massachusetts that Teixeira poses "an ongoing risk" to America's national security and that he should remain in jail until his trial. Teixei...

Washington (AFP) - Jack Teixeira gained a high-level security clearance through his job as an IT specialist just two years after joining the Air National Guard -- a relatively common situation he allegedly exploited to leak top secret US documents. As the US government works to assess the damage from its worst unauthorized revelation of restricted material in a decade, officials face questions over why Teixeira -- a 21-year-old airman first class who has been arrested and charged with mishandling classified information -- had such access at his young age and junior rank. While it is not unusua...

Boston (AFP) - A US national guardsman accused of leaking top secret Pentagon documents was back in court Wednesday as his detention hearing was postponed by two weeks. Jack Teixeira, 21, appeared briefly in federal court in Boston to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. "Yes, your honor," Teixeira, wearing an orange jumpsuit, told the judge when asked if it was his decision to forego the hearing. A separate appearance was delayed after his lawyer said the defense "requires more time to address the issues presented by the government's request for detention." A new date has not yet been se...
