Statement on the Arrest of a Suspect in the Dissemination of Classified United States Government Documents

April 14, 2023

I commend the rapid action taken by law enforcement to investigate and respond to the recent dissemination of classified U.S. Government documents. While we are still determining the validity of those documents, I have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information, and our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies.

NOTE: The statement referred to Airman First Class Jack D. Teixeira, Massachusetts Air National Guard, who was arrested by Federal law enforcement authorities in North Dighton, MA, on April 13.
