Jack Texira, a member of the National Guard at Massachusetts, convicted of leaking very secret documents on the war in Ukraine, used the military court on Thursday to describe himself as a “proud national” who was trying to expose the supposed “lies” of Biden Administration.
After adopting guilt on military charges to obstruct justice, the 23 -year -old acknowledged that he knew that his actions were illegal, but he felt that he needed to share the truth about how he was managed, in his opinion, on the misleading of the American public about War in Ukraine.
“If I saved even American, Russian, or Ukrainian life against this meaningless war, my punishment was worth it,” he said, adding that he is “comfortable with how to remember history for my actions.”
Teixeira drew similarities with President Donald Trump, claiming that he was also a victim of the weapon of the Ministry of Justice. He called on the Trump administration to “review my double prosecution and sanctions with attention to the opposite of the actions of the deep countries and show the truth, regardless of the embarrassment of the Biden administration.”
