The Air Force said Wednesday it has temporarily suspended two leaders of the unit where accused Pentagon document leaker Jack Teixeira worked.
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.
Teixeira, the 21-year-old who allegedly posted hundreds of classified Pentagon documents online for months, worked as a systems administrator in the 102nd Intelligence Wing in the Massachusetts Air National Guard.
The two commanders are suspended pending further investigation by the Air Force inspector general. As more information becomes available, more members of Teixeira's unit could face suspension or removal.

They pulled the unit off their normal duties I read a few days ago. Clearly someone was losing their command.
