A Massachusetts Air National Guardsman arrested in connection with a leak of purported highly classified intelligence documents was charged Friday as federal prosecutors offered new details about how they think some of the government’s most closely guarded material ended up online. Prosecutors charged Jack Teixeira with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material, in a brief hearing in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Congressman-elect George Santos of New York, looking to the side, attended the opening session of the 118th Congress in the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. Embattled Rep.-elect George Santos (R, N.Y.) spent his first day in Congress dodging reporters and voting in the contentious race for speaker, while Brazilian authorities said they intended to reopen a criminal investigation into allegations that he committed check fraud there in 2008.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, based in Washington, told Arqit Quantum that its action was ‘a fact-finding inquiry,’ the U.K. company said. British cybersecurity company Arqit Quantum Inc. is facing an investigation from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over its merger with a special-purpose acquisition company last year, the company disclosed Wednesday. Arqit saw its market value rise from $1.4 billion to over $4.5 billion soon after it completed the SPAC merger—a form of public listing—in September 2021 as investors embraced the company and its projections of surging revenue and profits in the emerging sectors of digital security and advanced cryptography. Its shares have since fallen significantly amid a broad investor retreat from SPACs and young high-growth companies.

Days after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to take over the investigation, Justice Department attorneys are expected to urge the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to end a document-vetting arrangement, instated by a lower court, that prosecutors have argued has slowed the investigation into the material the FBI seized from the Florida resort in August.
