A judge in Worcester, Mass., is considering whether to detain Jack Teixeira, the Air National guardsman accused of leaking U.S. government secrets, after a hearing Thursday where federal prosecutors argued he should remain in jail pending trial.

In a new court filing, federal prosecutors say Teixeira faces significant prison time, if convicted, and poses a serious flight risk. They say Teixeira took steps to obstruct the investigation into the leak of U.S. intelligence documents, many of which were about Ukraine's war against Russia.

In the courtroom, prosecutors argued that Teixeira is a prime target for foreign governments looking for American secrets. They compared him to former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked classified documents in 2013 and then fled the country.
