Jack Teixeira, who is accused of posting secret intelligence reports and sensitive documents online, “agreed to plead guilty on Monday in exchange for a 16-year sentence and a commitment to comprehensively brief officials on the extent of his leaks,” the New York Times reports.
“The Justice Department agreed not to charge him with violations of the Espionage Act, which, when combined with the other charges, could have resulted in a sentence of up to 60 years in prison had he been convicted.”
