A suspect was arrested in the northeastern United States on Thursday in the case of leaked US confidential documents, according to several media, as the investigation appeared to tighten around a young member of the Air National Guard .
The leak of these documents, which among other things detail Washington's views on the war in Ukraine, has caused the Pentagon to fear a
"very high risk"
to the country's national security.
According to an article published Wednesday by the
Washington Post
, the suspect is a man who worked on a military base and a firearms enthusiast.
The daily claims to have interviewed anonymously two members of the Discord social network where hundreds of pages of confidential documents were published, some of which were ultra-confidential, from a man with the pseudonym “OG
”
.
“
OG
” has regularly published for months hundreds of pages copied from documents in the military base where he works, the newspaper says, adding that the person questioned refused to specify which base it was.
