One former member of the server told law enforcement officials that Teixeira began sharing classified documents in December. But two others told The Post that he provided documents earlier than that, beginning around last summer.

Historically, the government has almost always charged only individuals with security clearances, which legally obligate them not to share classified information with people who aren’t authorized to see it.
Members of the Discord server said Teixeira shared the information with the group on his own, part of his desire to keep his online tribe informed about world events.
