prosecutors in this case say teixeira needs to remain in custody in detention as this process plays out. his attorneys have organized that he s not the threat that prosecutors portray him as and that she should let him be out. that detention hearing coming up later on this week on friday. it is worth noting that last month we learned that not only were two of his superiors including the commanding officer of his unit suspended because of this ongoing investigation into how he had so much access to classified information that kept on leaking but also the unit itself. their mission was suspended pending this investigation. the mission given to other units to perform that handling sensitive information. we ve reached out to both the air force and the national guard bureau for a statement or an explanation as to you how teixeira was reprimanded and admonished for accessing this classified information inappropriately and yet the problem persisted. o oren liebermann, cnn, in the
u.s. government secrets on social media. cnn s oren liebermann has the story. reporter: according to the latest court records filed in the case of jack teixeira, the 21-year-old member of the massachusetts air national guard accused of leaking highly classified information online, he was repeatedly admonished and reprimanded within his own unit for inappropriately accessing classified information. and yet as we ve learned from prosecutors and from the court filings he retained access to that classified information for months. in three separate air force memos from within his unit we get a look inside those admonishments, those reprimands against his behavior. first in september, on september 15th, 2022 he was observed taking notes on classified intelligence information according to this record and even putting that note into his pocket. for that he was reprimanded. yet one month later on october 25th, 2022, after the cease and desist order that came from the
a few hours ago, the embassy sent out a security alert warning there are reports of the airport taking fire. i want to bring in cnn s pentagon correspondent oren liebermann. this is a very precarious situation. where are u.s. troops in-country right now? what does the pentagon say about plans if control of this airport falls, which i suppose like everything else that we ve seen, is possible? reporter: so let s be clear that if hamid karzai n international airport were to fall, that is the worst-case scenario. the need to retake an airport from insurgents or from some other group that tries to take it, that requires more troops than are on the ground now, and that s the worst-case scenario, but that s not what s happening right now. the bulk of u.s. troops are at hamid karzai international airport. there are some 3,000 troops on the ground right now. we ve just learned in the past few minutes that secretary of defense lloyd austin approved another 1,000 troops. so it will be a total o
months, two years or more for al qaeda to reconstitute. the idea that now that could happen faster, and that s what mark milley told members of the u.s. congress, that is certainly troubling. that would undercut one of the primary reasons, if not the primary reason, that the u.s. went into afghanistan. the idea that the confidence in that could be shaken, not a pleasant thought, jim. not at all. and it raises the possibility that u.s. troops may have to go back in at some later date. o oren liebermann, thanks so much. the speed of afghanistan s collapse has been staggering. just three days ago, administration sources were telling cnn that kabul could potentially hold for another 30 to 90 days. in reality, the capital didn t even make it through the weekend. former defense secretary chuck hagel jouins me now. how alarmed are you by the situation you re seeing unfolding, that we re all seeing unfolding right now.
