The Air Force has suspended two commanders in the 102nd Intelligence Wing in Massachusetts, where suspected leaker Jack Teixeira worked as a systems administrator.
The commander of the 102nd Intelligence Support Squadron and the detachment commander overseeing administrative support have both been temporarily suspended from their leadership positions and have temporarily lost access to classified systems and information.
The suspensions were made “pending further investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of classified information,” the Air Force said in a statement Wednesday.
The announcement comes nearly two weeks after Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, was arrested in connection with the investigation of classified documents that were leaked on the internet.
The Air Force has not released any further information about the investigation, but more details are expected to be revealed as the investigation progresses. It is unclear if any other members of the unit will be affected by the suspensions.
