jennifer griffin has the story at the pentagon. >> hi, dana. he is fit, strong, armed and strained.ust about everything you can expect out of some sort of crazy movie is what a teen member of two dozen gamers told the "washington post" about the man who allegedly leaked hundreds of highly classified documents. the leaks began, he said, 6 to 8 months ago. the leaker and his friends who shared the documents are still at large. here is what we know now thanks to the extraordinary reporting of shane harris and his team at the "washington post." they spoke to a teenager who lives in california who is part of the discord group. he described how he met the person, he looked up to and called o.g. in this social media gamer chatroom during covid. the leaker, he says, is in his early 20s and worked or works in a secure facility on a u.s. military base. this coincides with our early reporting that the leak came from outside the pentagon. according to the post, the group of roughly two dozen mostly men and boys formed an invitation-only clubhouse in 2020 on discord. the friend of the leaker, wh

a former cia station chief dan hoffman will be with us in a moment, but first jennifer griffin, are investigators any closer to finding this leaker? >> well, sandra, we don't know at this point, not a lot of information coming out. but senior u.s. officials have been working overtime reaching out to u.s. allies to make amends for the untimely leaks and to rebuild allied trust. secretary austin spoke with his south korean counterpart yesterday and met today at the pentagon with ukraine's prime minister. he ignored shouted questions about the classified document leaks which included withering battlefield assessments that many fear could harm the ukraine spring offensive against the russian military. >> mr. secretary, are you concerned the document leak was -- >> thank you, press. we are leaving now, thank you. >> a day earlier, the defense secretary austin promised to find the culprit. >> we take this very seriously and we will continue to investigate and turn over every rock until we find the source of this and the extent of it. >> the hunt is on for the mole who leaked these 53 classified documen

. >> bill: jennifer griffin is joining us live at the pentagon. so, jennifer, what are you hearing about this investigation right now? >> we have received a statement from the national guard saying an air national guards man is investigated for the leak. it's not clear if he is at fort bragg or cape cod. we do know he is a part of the massachusetts air national guard. cyber sleuths and journalists seems to have honed in on the leaker faster than the fbi. "new york times" has identified him as 21-year-old jack teixeira of the 102 intelligence wing of the massachusetts air national guard. teixeira reportedly worked the overnight shift on cape cod and promoted last july, and tracked down an member of the online chat group teixeira led for the past few years. >> think claims he is a russian operative or pro-russian is false. he is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the u.s. or other countries. he was a young charismatic man who loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. >> in an exclusive interview, thi
