He was based at Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod, where he was assigned as a cyber transport systems journeyman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He was able to access the documents because he held a top-secret security clearance since around July 2021 and had received training in the definition of classified information, classification levels and proper handling of the material, according to the indictment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">While the documents were discovered online in March 2023, Teixeira had been sharing them online since January of that year, according to prosecutors. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"articleDevelopingTag\">\n<p>This is a<span class=\"articleDevelopingTag__content--red\"> developing <\/span>story.
